Author Description

Invisible Poets was established on Facebook in February 2023 by poets Steve Wheeler and Charlene Phare. The group has grown exponentially and on the day this book was published boasted over 50,000 members from more than 140 countries. Invisible Poets is known worldwide for its mentoring of members as well as its regular live poetry broadcasts, from the UK, USA and elsewhere. Known as Live Poets Society, the show regularly features real-time readings and performances of premier poetry from Invisible Poets. Invisible Poets Anthology 2 contains more than 240 poems. This book is the result of a rigorous selection process. To be eligible for inclusion, each poem had to be performed on Live Poets Society. Regular viewers will know that only the best poetry features on the shows, which are broadcast live across the Invisible Poets Facebook network from the UK, the USA, Brazil and other countries. The shows’ presenters are all very knowledgeable about poetry, but they also have diverse tastes. As a result, the poetry in this anthology is diverse, with a wide variety of themes, styles and formats. That means there should be something for everyone within these pages. Your purchase of the anthologies will not only benefit all the poets who are represented within these pages by gaining them a wider audience; it will also go a long way toward supporting children in crisis. Proceeds from the Amazon sales of this book will be donated to Save the Children—a worldwide relief fund that provides children in warzones and disaster areas with food, medicine, clothing, shelter—and eventually—education. It’s a very worthy cause and we thank you in advance for your valuable support.
