About the Founders
Cosmic Poetry was founded in January, 2002 by G. Campbell and B. H. Fader to create a poetry site whereby burgeoning poets could come to be mentored on poetic techniques as well as post their own private content for review, or critique, should they choose to.
Our Mission Statement
Freedom, The Mission: Poetry is the language before the fall of Babel. It speaks to no one, without first speaking to all humankind. It crosses all boundaries and all borders, holds no nationality, excepting a global one, and claims no gender its own. Poetry transcends poverty, caste and war. It knows no religion, yet has great depth of spirit in all things. It gives the oppressed expression where otherwise they would have none, it allows the intelligentsia to speak in such a way as to capture the imagination of others and shows us beyond refute that we are all indeed made in one image and the only colour that matters, is the ink we choose to write in. Only through poetry can one escape from any prison and triumph over any ordeal. Often, poetry speaks secrets that would otherwise go untold. It is a freedom of expression that, because it originates from within us, cannot be curtailed, or censored, regardless of the regime in which we may live. Poetry is universal, in that we all Love, Despair, and Sorrow; it speaks a tongue that although muted, can never be fully lost, even in translation.
Modus Operandi
One people, one pen, a billion voices.
