Here Be Dragons

We aim to champion authenticity and individuality amidst a culture of blame, fostering a shared space among Commonwealth nations where diverse perspectives unite in our commonality as youth and humans.

Who are we?

We’re creatives who enjoy reading, writing, and immersing ourselves in art. We believe that art is good; whether it is poetry, a piece of fine music, a thoughtful painting, or anything that speaks or gives space for silence, we know that it is good. We understand that art and storytelling bring consciousness, action, and balance to selves, souls, spirits, and worlds. There can be no shortage of media to enable these forms of expression. So here we are, ready to amplify the voices of youths in Commonwealth nations.

About Us

At our core, we are dedicated to showcasing the abundant talent thriving within the Commonwealth, celebrating the beauty of language and the power of storytelling. Our goal is to recognize individual poets and cultivate a sense of belonging and pride within the larger community. Creatives want to feel seen, held, understood, and appreciated. And so we’ve created a space where despite our differences and unique points of view, we discover the shared threads of our youth and humanity.
Our mission is to honour the individual voices of poets while nurturing a sense of community and belonging within a vast and diverse landscape. We recognize that each creative journey is as distinct as the artists themselves, and we hold authenticity, originality, and innovation in high regard.
