PEACE

I’m Inertia Justice, the founder of The Popup Poetry Spot, and I’m thrilled you’re here. This space was born out of my passion for poetry. It was my 1st love before my daughters. I curate this space —whether through live pop-up events in real life (IRL), IG weekly LIVE Open Mics, newsletter, podcast, or the stories woven by the poetry community into every page.

At The Popup Poetry Spot, we celebrate the power of words to connect, inspire, and transform. Join us, poets, lovers of verse, and/or curious friend, you’ll find a vibrant community and a wealth of creative energy here. 

Explore our events, dive into our poetry collections, tune into our podcast, or browse our curated shop. And don’t forget to join our newsletter to stay connected with all the latest happenings.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, let’s keep poetry alive and thriving—one popup at a time.

Our Poetry Workshop Programs

Poetry has the power to transform lives, build confidence, and create lasting connections within our community. At The Popup Poetry Spot, we've designed comprehensive workshop programs that cater to both adults and teens, fostering creativity while building essential life skills. Adult Poetry Workshops: Where Expression Meets Growth Our adult workshops go beyond traditional poetry instruction. We create safe spaces where participants can explore their authentic voices while developing powerful communication skills. Whether you're a seasoned writer or someone who's never put pen to paper, our interactive sessions welcome all experience levels. Each workshop combines creative writing techniques with personal development principles, helping participants process emotions, build confidence, and discover new perspectives on their life experiences. Our small group format (typically 10-25 participants) ensures personalized attention while fostering meaningful connections among attendees. From slam poetry techniques to therapeutic writing exercises, our adult programs offer diverse approaches to poetic expression. Participants often report increased self-awareness, improved communication skills, and a renewed sense of creative purpose. Teen Poetry Workshops: Empowering the Next Generation Our premium teen workshops are specifically designed for young people ages 13-17 who are navigating the complexities of adolescence. These programs combine poetry instruction with essential life skills training, focusing on self-esteem, healthy relationships, and emotional intelligence. Led by certified life coach and poetry enthusiast Inertia Justice, these workshops create supportive environments where teens can express themselves authentically while building confidence and leadership skills. We address real-world challenges through creative expression, helping young people develop healthy coping mechanisms and communication strategies. Our teen programs include poetry slams, performance opportunities, and peer mentorship components. Participants learn not just how to write compelling poetry, but how to present themselves confidently and connect meaningfully with others. Why Choose Our Workshops? What sets our programs apart is the integration of personal development with artistic expression. We don't just teach poetry – we use poetry as a vehicle for transformation, empowerment, and community building. Both our adult and teen workshops emphasize practical skills that extend far beyond the writing room. Participants develop public speaking confidence, emotional intelligence, and creative problem-solving abilities that serve them in all areas of life. Ready to discover your poetic voice while building lasting life skills? Join us at The Popup Poetry Spot, where creativity meets personal growth, and every voice matters. Until then, We'll see you @ The Spot.
