young poets
New voices in poetry
Young poets are people in the early stages of writing poetry, whether literally young in age or simply new to the craft.
The phrase often carries an encouraging or mentoring tone: a workshop for young poets, advice to young poets.
It may also imply idealism or rawness—the unpolished passion associated with youth.
