After a wonderful first four seasons I am planning a fifth season of my podcast, The Poet Heroic, starting Fall 2023.

The Poet Heroic is a monthly podcast of poetry, curated by poet and composer Timothy Arliss OBrien.
Each episode takes the listener on a journey through three poems by guest writers, two poems by the host, and one poem in the public domain from a favorite classic author.

We also keep a photographed catalogue of all poems read on the podcast featured on social media and prefer shorter pieces that can fit on one page and be featured in a single image. Check out our social media to see the aesthetic magic we create. 

We are currently open for poetry submissions, interests in guest hosting, or elevator pitches for a short collection to bind into a zine. We welcome all writers, published or unpublished, seasoned or brand new.

It is an honor to hold a space for others to try a craft and learn to be a wordsmith.
No matter your experience or hesitations,
     The Poet Heroic is a place for anyone who wants to put pen to paper.

Unfortunately at this time we are unable to pay our contributors. To provide an exceptional experience to all of our listeners we have chosen to not monetize or include ads in our podcast episodes.
Also due to being a sole individual running the podcast and small press please only send three poems or three pages for review at a time. Please refrain from sending new submissions until you have received feedback on previous submissions. 

Any work submitted which is found to be racist, bigoted, hateful and/or work which promotes gratuitous or sexual violence will not be published and may result in the writer being banned from submitting and from our socials. We will remove or reject work by any submitter or contributor we find to have plagiarized or been racist, misogynistic, homophobic, ableist or hateful in the literary community.

So please join me in the adventure of becoming a literary hero - A Poet Heroic.

Good luck with your words, and I hope you can find yourself as the hero in them,

Timothy.
