About

POCKETFIRE aims to set the stage for a modern poetry revival. Our focus is inclusive, uncompromising creativity sharpened by contemporary language. We believe there is space for poetry in the stage light of current pop culture. Our inspirations include Anis Mojgani, Sam Sax, Neil Hilborn, Kate Tempest, James Franco, Rudy Francisco and more. These wonderful titans are here for reference to stylistic favorites our reading and editing team may have. However, we accept all styles and voices - please, do not feel as if you need to avoid submitting your work if it does not "match" what you see above. Surprise us with your originality. POCKETFIRE's vision of combining film and poetry is aimed to place the written word into the spotlight of pop-culture and allow the efforts of our writers to be scene on a more global stage. This is not about moving poetry into a new medium, but utilizing a different medium to reach wonderful people who may have never had the chance to see the beauty of poetry before.
