Wax Poetry and Art presents Axil Poetry and Art, a magazine dedicated to showcasing poets under 25 years of age on an international stage.
Axil Poetry and Art believes that young poets under 25 are connected to the world in unique ways and offer an important perspective. It is vital to create spaces for poets under 25. Axil Poetry and Art is dedicated to featuring poets under 25.
As well, Axil Poetry and Art believes that poetry is connected to human society in diverse and meaningful ways. Poetry is a literary form and an artistic tradition thousands of years old, going back to the oral tradition. Poetry is a ceremonial expression at important cultural events. More privately, many engage with poetry in a deeply personal way, outside of any social function. Poetry is catharsis, philosophy, and spirituality. Poetry is scientific, humorous, and surreal. Poetry is the story of the great and the small, the triumph and the struggle – the record of our life and time. Poetry is all of these things, and more.
Axil Poetry and Art is committed to reflecting the true scope of poetry and by doing so, to bringing more poets and more readers into the global poetry community.
Axil Poetry and Art seeks submissions from poets from all backgrounds and levels of experience who are under 25 years of age at the time of submission. All topics are welcome. All styles. Literary, spoken word, free verse, rhyming, haiku, sonnets, prose – all types and forms of poems are welcome.
