Questions about finding Poetry friends
Where can I find poetry friends near me?
Open mics and readings bring poetry lovers together, but deeper friendships usually start one on one. Partnr helps you find nearby people who listed Poetry, so you can trade favorite poems before going to a reading together.
Is it scary to share poetry with new people?
A little, but most poetry lovers are generous readers who know how vulnerable it feels. Starting with someone you met on an interest-first friend app like Partnr, who already loves poetry, makes sharing easier.
