THE VILLAGE POETRY BOOK
Written by a Community of Wise Poets
We are a black owned Publisher that brings poets together from all over the world in one book, one time per year.
WHAT IS THE VILLAGE POETRY BOOK?
The Village Poetry Book is a community platform that allows poets from all over the world to add their poems to it in order to safely express their creativity, gain credibility and achieve the prestige title of Published Author.
​
It's a book that heals, uplifts and decreases community crime, poverty, low self esteem, school dropouts, obesity, peer pressure and depression. It breeds freedom, peace and love, so it is open to everyone, and you are free to use whatever words you want to express yourself.
​
The book republishes every year on May 1st and we are now accepting poetry submissions from those that want to be featured in the book along with many other wise poets. The deadline to submit your poetry is December 31, 2024.
HOW IT WORKS
STEP 1:
Fill out the Poetry Submission Form below. (If you have more than one poem, you can submit them together or separately.)
STEP 2:
After poetry submission, you will receive an invoice by email. *The price is $50 and $5 for shipping. Your invoice must be paid before your poem can be added to the book.
STEP 3:
