UniVerse of Poetry initiates an opportunity for courageous, celebrated, international poets -- many of whom are refugees -- to be heard, read and studied. These poets often transcend hardship, isolation, and exile to write the enduring human story.
UniVerse embodies a celebration of poetry encouraging dialogue, compassion and peace. UniVerse is dedicated to featuring a laurelled poet from every nation in the world, regardless of territory, and to showcasing the work of poets working in exile and writing in endangered languages through public programs, free curricula and online publication. UniVerse is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
