Hello Familiar Friends and New Names.
And welcome where we are all people, first!
Welcome to a space where we are all people first!
At Poeaxtry_, I like to say that one of our mottos is “Poeaxtry_, where the people are.” But did I ever explain what that actually boils down to?
Simply put: I don’t want to force anyone to find me. I want people who might be interested in reading, submitting, creating, or even just engaging with the emotional, hiking, or other free content I share, to discover me naturally and connect in their own way.
That’s why I post the digital creations, and photos or videos I capture with my phone across social platforms. These posts share the highlights in text on the visual media, summaries in the captions, and links to read more if interested on my website. This site holds the “meat and potatoes,” also known as the full content. This leaves my work accessible to all fully in one place that doesn’t anyone to create an account to view. However subscribers to the website do receive a reward, but I’m probably getting ahead of myself. We’ll get all of that and more soon!
Quality is Key
There’s a difference between followers and believers, between noise and signal, between people who swipe and people who stay. Subscribers mean nothing when the numbers aren’t noticing or notifying. Numbers are nothing if they aren’t the people you resonate with.
This post is a deep dive into the kinds of creators, readers, contributors, critics and community members who thrive at Poeaxtry_ and The Poetry Prism. I’m including a small reminder of our ethos that holds it all together.
This isn’t about chasing numbers or chasing dopamine. It’s about quality, intention, and connection.
Who Thrives Here?
Readers Who Connect.
People who may read something more than once to see what else is hiding.
They look for depth over new discovery, connection over content trends.
They pause, reflect, and engage with work that might challenge societies views or refuse pretend peacefulness.
Creators Who Make With Purpose
Not hobbyists. Not algorithm chasers.
They craft poems like prayers, build zines like love letters, or publish work that has purpose.
These creators make not for only applause, but because their work demands to hold space.
Marginalized Voices & Intersectional Art
We built this space because such spaces were scarce:
LGBTQ+ voices, Disabled creatives, Neurodivergent makers, people in recovery, creators of color, and other communities America keeps attacking.
This is visibility with intention, support with structure, and room without hierarchy.
Contributors & Collaborators Who Grow Together
This is a working ecosystem, not a pond of competitors.
Here, people:
Give and receive constructive feedback, look at success as mutual elevation, respect identities, collaborate while creating creative comrades, compete in creative showdowns, and much more.
Who This Isn’t For
Algorithm chasing creators who aren’t the same as creative people they are much different.
If your goal is to rage bait or chase clicks, this space isn’t for you.
We value substance over fake.
The “I’m above you” energy? Not going to fly here.
Harm, Discrimination, Prejudice
We do not tolerate dehumanizing behavior.
Bigotry or discrimination that is based on race, gender, sexuality, disability, mental health, or any other immutable identity ends your collaboration here immediately.
This is a safe creative community no slut shaming, body shaming, or politics. Transgender identity isn’t politics if you think so I don’t think you need me to tell me shit,
poeaxtry’s website (updated first) Shared to mainstream & emerging social platforms Direct community spaces Publishing & sales: Amazon/Kindle, Google Play Books, Etsy, Gumroad, Payhip
At Poeaxtry_ we are not tied to a single platform, always expanding.
Community Spaces & Engagement
I’m building safe, collaborative spaces for writers, artists, and makers:
Discord with Collaborative threads, competitions, open mic nights, custom roles for interactions, and more. Feedback invited, not forced; silence allowed. Rest & presence valued over performance always.
Publishing & Opportunities
Poeaxtry’s Poetry Prism offers:
Free publishing for minority indie creators: poetry, prose, visual art, mixed media, experimental work and Indie spotlights for indie creatives and small businesses Collaborative projects, resource sharing, critique circles
2026 Initiatives
Our new Quarterly digital magazine with open submissions, my own features, resource guides, advice sections addressing current issues, and open budget friendly calls for submissions.
Also be looking for virtual and local open mic nights
This is the ecosystem for those who thrive here creating, collaborating, connecting, and building together.
Values Hold Poeaxtry_ Together
Integrity, respect, care.
Bigotry, discrimination, or harm ends collaboration immediately.
We realistically can’t do full vetting or background checks but we know the truth surfaces naturally. Then we will act accordingly.
This isn’t a growth strategy.
This is a creative home for people who:
Read meaningfully, create with care, connect generously, and Build community over content creating trend climbing.
Your voice matters here. So if it’s genuine, grounded, and human come connect !
Welcome to Poeaxtry_ and The Poetry Prism.
