Poetic Philosophy

Art is meant to be shared.

Poetic Philosophy has for a long time now helping people find their voice regarding the philosophy of life. The combination of philosophical thoughts and poetry is an ideal means for exploring the deepest secrets of existence. Sometimes we can only express things we know without words – just with poems that speak those unspoken words we constantly feel.

We are delighted to share a major milestone for our literary journey: we are preparing the publication of a commemorative book anthology collecting poems recited across all Poetic Philosophy gatherings of 2026 (from our very first sessions earlier this year through December)!

Poems to be published

Any poems submitted already in the Poetic Philosophy events are eligible.

Send us your poems for the new events for October (currently in progress), November and December events to be considered.

Or if you wish, send us completely new poems to include in the anthology, even if you do not want them included in any online collection or even if you are not participating in any of the online poetry recital events.

In any case, you are in full control on what is to be published. Explicit consent will be required for the specific poems to be included. Refer to the next section below for details.

Details regarding the publication

Please read below the details for the publication.

• Free of Charge: Participation and inclusion in the book are completely free.
• Non-Commercial & Community Reinvestment: There are no individual royalties or author earnings. Any net proceeds generated from book sales will be dedicated entirely to funding future poetry contests, community awards, and literary initiatives for Poetic Philosophy.
• IMPORTANT NOTE – Explicit Consent Required: We deeply respect your rights to your work. No poem will be included without your explicit written approval. Inclusion in the anthology does not restrict your rights in any way – you are free to share your poems elsewhere or publish again on your own.

To give your consent:
Simply send us a message before 31st December 2026 stating:
“I consent to having my poem [Insert Poem Title(s)] included in the 2026 Poetic Philosophy Anthology under the terms outlined by Poetic Philosophy.“

Other submission guidelines

• Word/line count limit: Up to 50 lines.
• Submission limit: Up to 3 poems per author.
• Accepted languages: English only.
• Bio/name guidelines: Pen names are allowed. Please state explicitly the name under which you want the poem to be published.
