Collaboration and Community: The Heart of I Am Poetry Events
In a world that often feels disconnected, finding spaces where genuine human connection flourishes can be rare. This is why at I Am Poetry, we believe in the power of collaboration and community as the core of our events. These gatherings are more than just showcases of talent; they are vibrant spaces where poets, artists, and audiences come together to create something truly special.
The Power of Collaboration
At I Am Poetry events, collaboration is not just encouraged—it’s celebrated. We’ve seen time and again how the fusion of different creative energies can lead to something extraordinary. Whether it’s a poet teaming up with a visual artist, a musician accompanying spoken word performances, or writers collaborating on a shared theme, the results are always captivating.
One of our favorite examples is the partnership between our founder, Everkesia Taylor, and visual artist Alorine. Together, they created “Love As The Lesson,” a beautiful melding of words and visual art that resonated deeply with our audience. This kind of collaboration doesn’t just create art; it builds relationships, fosters mutual respect, and elevates the creative process to new heights.
Building a Supportive Community
Beyond the art itself, I Am Poetry events are about building a community where everyone feels welcome. We recognize that the creative journey can sometimes be a solitary one, and having a supportive community can make all the difference. At our events, whether you’re a seasoned poet or someone sharing their words for the first time, you’ll find a warm, encouraging environment.
Our events are designed to break down barriers, allowing people from all walks of life to connect over their shared love of poetry and art. We’ve had attendees tell us how these gatherings have helped them find their voice, gain confidence, and even form lasting friendships. This sense of community is what makes I Am Poetry more than just a brand—it’s a movement.
Why It Matters
So why do we place such importance on collaboration and community? The answer is simple: because together, we are stronger. The collective energy and creativity that emerge from our events have a profound impact, not just on those who participate, but on the wider community as well. When we collaborate, we inspire each other to push boundaries, to explore new ideas, and to grow as artists and individuals.
Moreover, in today’s fast-paced world, where so much interaction happens online, the opportunity to come together in person and share these experiences is invaluable. I Am Poetry events remind us that there is still immense value in face-to-face connections, in sharing a moment of vulnerability, and in celebrating the diverse voices that make up our community.

After all, it’s the people—the poets, the artists, the audience—that truly make I Am Poetry what it is.
