Through its offerings, Vocational Poetics seeks to create a non-hierarchical mixed-use space of shared  resources toward each artist’s process of self-sovereignty.

Vocational Poetics is a teaching and learning space with online offerings from artists and radical educators


Vocational Poetics creates space for creative work to occur, fairly compensating teachers for their creative labor and creating regnerative spaces for creativity.


Taking after June Jordan's model in Poetry for the People, VP creates the possibility for every student to become a teacher – while teachers also have the privilege of being each other's students.


We seek to provide a space for creative congregation: for the stutter to become utterance.



See our
Mission Statement and ever-evolving Manifesto for more.



VP is committed to accessibility as well as equitable compensation for the creative labors of organizing and teaching.
