Welcome to Atheist Poetry!

Atheist Poetry is a collection of contemporary poetry written by Atheists celebrating the creativity of man, a creativity and inspiration which comes from within. Poems are chosen from the wide variety of poem submitted to Atheist Poetry. Our most eminent poets are represented in the selections, but also poets who are less well known.

The weekly poem is selected for its topical or special interest, as well as for its literary quality. Included with each weekly poem are information about the poet and a short description of the inspiration behind the poem, when available.

Our purpose is to make a site where Atheist poets and writers can have a place to celebrate and share their works with everyone. Future goals will be to have the first collection of poems written by Atheists published in book form, contests offering prizes to winning poets, a showcase of short stories written by Atheists and more. .

If this is your first visit to Atheist Poetry, let us welcome you with a poem by Mark A. Napier, Generation of a Poem, a piece that captures inspiration and the process in which it takes us over. We hope to give you the means of experiencing new poetry by Atheists in this way.

If you like what you see here and would like to be kept informed about upcoming featured poets, new arrivals in our bookstore, poetry news, and more, sign up for our free bi-weekly email newsletter.

In the meantime, welcome gentle reader!
