The Global Poetry Consortium is an organization comprised of leading independent schools committed to innovation and cultural exchange through poetry. We strive to bridge the divide between technology and the literary arts by encouraging our students to engage in interdisciplinary thought and writing. We accomplish this through online workshops, an annual Poetry Festival, and an annual journal.
