New Voices: Philadelphia’s Emerging Poets is a program designed for emerging poets under the age of 25. It aims to create a platform for younger poets by welcoming them into the larger Philadelphia poetry community and giving them the opportunity to share their work with a wider audience.

Us humans tend to narrow our audience and present to others in our schools or poetry groups. Moonstone’s objective is to expand your audience, introduce you to others who share your interest in poetry but live in different communities and go to different schools. Each month we present three poets from different communities followed by an open reading. We are still virtual on zoom. In addition to monthly readings we publish a New Voices anthology twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and have a reading from the anthology. This is an on-going project so please send us your poems.
