Mission Statement

Caesura Poetry Workshop aims to support, inspire, educate, and energize poets of all backgrounds through regular online and in-person workshops. Caesura strives to ensure that poetry maintains its proper prominence in our culture, and that individual poets achieve their fullest potential as artists and human beings. 

To achieve this mission, Caesura has identified these three goals:

• Caesura workshops will always be very affordably priced to ensure access to poets of all ages, backgrounds, writing experience, publication histories, and financial situations.

• Caesura aims to create and nurture a supportive community of passionate poets, writers, thinkers, and lifelong learners.

• Caesura upholds its commitment to a diverse community by nurturing an inclusive, supportive, and welcoming environment. Caesura also deeply believes in the importance of lifting up the voices of those who've been traditionally marginalized or ignored: persons of color, refugees, people with disabilities, LGBTQ individuals, and others.
