The Sunflower Collective: About

'All good art is political! There is none that isn’t'- Toni Morrison

The Sunflower collective is a blog that celebrates dilettantism in Poetry and aims at showcasing poets who have not necessarily been trained formally. We publish and reprint works of both published and unpublished poets we like. We dig the Beats and Hungryalist schools of poetry and believe in John Coltrane's introspective philosophy of musical expression, which we feel is both personal and political.

Our aim is not to break the system per se. We are just looking for something new, something that does not talk about wine and cheese, and works only within the sphere of established forms and themes. Here is our manifesto.
