Dark Poets Club is a global collective for all inspiring, emerging, and established poets whose written expressions lean towards “darker” themes, or as we like to call it, real-world rawness. They love poetry that is beautiful, honest, and comes from that deeper voice within. While many publications may find your expression a little too heavy, the Dark Poets Club want to read, love, and share it. They always encourage our club members to stay true to their art and never sugarcoat it for anybody.
