Poetry For Teens

Nick Tolkien emails: "Heya Luke, Im starting a poetry movement for teenagers as I am one myself in California (i live in London right now its shit). I think teenagers really seem to be out of options in the age we live in, the facebook age. Ive read around and you seem to be the only person who seems to know what theyre talking about. Any thoughts on my silly little movement?"

It is a great idea. As Dennis Prager says, writing is a mirror to the mind… Try to show how poetry/writing can be a vehicle for expressing one’s deepest thoughts, things that most people most of the time are afraid to admit. Life is relentless humiliation and writing is a way to work through this. Tap people into their greatest passions and fears.

If you can get hot chicks interested in what you are doing, then your movement is sure to rock.
