PoetrySoup is currently accepting submissions for our next poetry anthology, a major effort that will make a significant contribution to the discussion surrounding peace and human rights. "Diverse Voices: The Poetry of Human Rights and the Pursuit of Peace" is the book's temporary title. While this title may change or be tweaked, it gives us a sense of the themes and subjects that you are to submit for consideration.
These poems can explore a wide range of themes such as justice, freedom, equality, empathy, resilience, discrimination, oppression, and the universal quest for peace.
We recognize that PoetrySoup members come from different cultures, nationalities, backgrounds, and experiences. This worldwide diversity is not just an opportunity for poetic exploration, but a celebration of the unique experiences related to human rights struggles and peace that each of you can bring to this anthology.
This poetry anthology will be a powerful force in human rights awareness and advocacy, inspiring readers to reflect on the importance of human rights and the pursuit of peace.
Remember, Lifetime Premium Members can submit up to three poems for consideration.
Submission deadline: November 22, 2025
