Gaza Poets Society is a group of 32 young and aspiring poets from Gaza who teamed up to form an effective and coherent society of poets and writers. They are developing a community that can share poetry and express themselves freely and fearlessly.
Gaza Poets Society hosts monthly spoken word events in Gaza; produces spoken work videos; holds weekly meetings for the writers; communicates with local institutions and holds workshops presented by their members; hosts local and international posts and Skype meetings discussing their works with universities and other poetry societies.
In this collaboration, The Ohio Chapter of Gaza Poets Society is supporting their poets’ ability to create through giving them a larger platform to share their work, and guide their message to new listeners.
