Some poems stick with you, over weeks, over years. Every now and then, Nesbit and Gibley find poems from authors, old and new, amateur and professional, that completely inspire and transport.
The authors below have very kindly allowed us to share their poems with our followers. They’re fantastic pieces, all incredibly well written and we highly suggest browsing through them. These are absolute gems.
Many of the poems are found on the /r/ocpoetry forums of Reddit. If you’re after feedback or criticism, it’s a great, friendly place to submit.
