The Anthology
of Poetry, Inc. is dedicated to nurturing the beauty, self-expression
and fun of poetry in young writers. We also foster the development
of creative expression in student writers through short
story writing.
We've been editing children's poetry since
1989 and we are convinced that children live and think in
poetic images. They are delighted by the musical, rhythmic
sounds of poetry and can effortlessly conjure up its eccentric
and wonderfully quick images.
In a world where sound bites, e-mail and
instant messages are preferred communication methods, the
art of writing can easily be lost. The Anthology of Poetry,
Inc. champions the written word in all of its forms and
works to celebrate the success of budding and accomplished
young writers.
Our three publications are a forum for
young writers where they see their work and the work of
other young poets published in an actual book. Unlike vanity
publishers who often print all submissions in order to sell
their books, The Anthology of Poetry, Inc. reviews every
submission and selects approximately 55% for publication.
The purchase of an anthology is never a requirement for
publication. We also donate copies of The Teacher's Selection
Anthologies to the libraries of participating schools.
In concert with teachers throughout the
United States, we help expose students to the pleasures
of a literary life and enable future authors as they take
their first steps. For we know that the encouragement and
confidence they gain by seeing their work published, helps
fuel their enthusiasm for developing the kinds of writing
skills needed in adult life.
