We make poetry vital, vibrant and relevant for all students and teachers.
Some students love poetry but many of them don’t. Some are high-flying deep-thinkers and some are not. Some speak a lot and seldom put pen to page, others stay silent and surprise you with a sonnet at the end of the day. No matter where you are or who you teach, our learning resources are for you and all your students. (Yes, all of them.)
Our free resources and workshops are curriculum-linked, engaging and inclusive. They are developed by educators and poets with guidance from our First Nations Wisdom Circle.
In 2025 we invite you and your students to take part in our Education programs: Poetry Month, the Poem Forest nature poetry prize, and Baraya Barray - Whale Song, an immersive experience for First Nations students.

Testimonials
My grade 3 class LOVED this workshop! They were hooked for the entire session and even my reluctant writers were buzzing! Thank you!
Our child loves seeing his poem published, and being able to read all the others from his school. He reads lots of poetry but doesn't frequently get inspired to write it. The idea that a tree would be planted if he did really motivated him.
