Introduction	Poetry does not exist in a vacuum. Poets cannot lock themselves away and pretend nothing is happening outside their own personal bubbles. This began as a vehicle for my own work and that remains the case, but I have been lucky enough to receive poems from other writers and I have started to include these. My guide will be gut feeling about whether the poems submitted sit comfortably with the overall philosophy of the site.
