A Place for Your Words
Blending the benefits of a classroom workshop, publisher, publication, library, and social and professional media, Trūbadour is a platform, community, and movement - that encourages you to be your own best advocate. Here, you’ll spend less time worrying and more time writing and reading vibrant, jaw-dropping poems.
The idea for Trūbador started on the front lines of an MFA program. We know from experience how difficult it is to be a writer today and to consistently find poetry and collaborators that tap the root of your passion for the art. We want to change that, and with it, start changing the stereotypes and stigmas surrounding poetry as an archaic, elite, inaccessible, almost-purely-labor-of-love pursuit.
Truūbadour is by poets, for poets, and we are committed to the democratization of poetry--easing it from the hierarchical, sioled, ivory tower establishments of academia and traditional publishing.
