Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Welcome to our endless slumber party. Poetry Trapper Keeper is an online poetry magazine / email newsletter for hot people (if you’re here, you already qualify - so congrats!). Run by Kelly Mullins and Larissa Fantini, it’s a space that celebrates our tween selves, the color pink, and un-precious poetry. Here at PTK, we believe anyone can write poetry. And that a run-on sentence piece about the Kardashians is just as valid as a Shakespearian soliloquy! What is a Trapper Keeper?? If you grew up in the 90’s or 2000’s, you probably had one of these (but might have just called it something different). A Trapper Keeper is a binder that holds all of your stuff - i.e. your schoolwork, lip gloss, secret notes, stickers, etc. For most of us, it was the first item that was TRULY ours to personalize and protect - i.e. our parents were STRICTLY off limits from looking inside. Ok, but what is a Poetry Trapper Keeper?? So, a Poetry Trapper Keeper holds all of those things, plus your poems - obvi!! It’s a space to heal your inner tween, where pink reigns supreme and no poem is too precious not to pass on to your bestie in the back of math class. This Trapper Keeper is just as much yours as it is ours!! We pride ourselves on an expanding, global, hot poets community (35+ countries and counting) and we want you to join in on our poetry dance party! We’re super into using poetry as a mechanism to process our feelings through fast, digital publishing. So, no matter if you’re a poetry baby (who’s never been published before) or a poetry mommy (with a big upcoming book deal), there are 3 main ways you can get “published’ on Poetry Trapper Keeper: 1. Share with PTK: Become a PFF (Poetry Friend Forever) 2. Get Published on PTK: Open Calls & Zines 3. Take Over PTK: Squatters
