Hot Reads for Summer!



Welcome back, readers.
It's great to be back on the blog block.

Though this blog has not been updated in some time, rest assured that Poets United is still very active on the arts scene and in our local communities.

This year, we're back with a new look and new projects!

Even when this site is not current, please know that we will continue (behind the scenes), to share our passion and make good on our mission to increase arts awareness and highlight literary excellence and diversity, through blog posts, books, information products, book signings and various tours and trips along the way.

We hope you'll join us.

Now, for today's post...

Good poetry like good fashion never goes out of style.
It's timeless.

Which is why I'm happy to share some of my favorite poets, whose works have inspired, informed and engaged audiences for decades. This summer, why not add them to your reading list for a little sizzle and romance?!


Here are a few of my favorites, that I'm convinced will become your favorites too, in no particular order:


  • MAYA ANGELOU
  • PETER MCWILLIAMS
  • E.E. CUMMINGS
  • JEANNE TOWNES
  • PABLO NERUDA
  • GWENDOLYN BROOKS
And don't forget to add the published works of poets and authors among the ranks of Poets United to Advance the Arts.

You'll find a listing of our selected titles under the "Books by members" tab.

Until next time, enjoy your week!
