Our mission

At The Josephine Hart Poetry Foundation, we are passionate about the transformative power of poetry.

Our mission is simple but profound: to unlock the creative potential in every young person and inspire every adult by encouraging them to read and perform poetry aloud and watch live poetry being read aloud. We believe that poetry is not just words on a page but a living, breathing art form that has the power to transform people and help them value and understand the world they live in.
