Poetry for Life

Poetry is for everyone. A sense of ownership in the gift of poetry is something everyone should feel they have - and only when poetry is accessible to all will that happen.

And THAT will be transformative.

Gris Literatura seeks to engender greater appreciation of, and participation in, poetry - for both writers and the community at large.

We believe language is a peculiar and unique gift to humankind - capable of conveying so much, from the simplest expression or instruction to defining both individual selves & whole communities.

At Gris Literatura, we consider language and the creative use of it to be the birthright of every person. And so we are committed to expanding the scope & accessibility of resources for both the lovers & writers of poetry - whether that be through classes, workshops, readings, podcasts, or open mics.

Gris Literatura is a registered non-profit in the State of Minnesota with our federal 501(c)3 status pending. All donations can be claimed as tax deductible within the current tax year. Please consider supporting us in our continued endeavors via our GoFundMe page, at the button below.
