About us
π Our mission
Madness! Poetry aims to connect kids and teens with more poetry in their schools, homes, and lives.
Why? Because poetry uniquely enables them to experience the world from different perspectives, whether that of another person, another life form, or some other thing or non-thing entirely.
Poetry builds empathy. Empathy is a superpower. And this is a superpower that everyone can and should possess.
π¦Έπ»ββοΈ Our people (well, person)
I'm Ed DeCaria, a writer and software product expert, and the creator of Madness! Poetry.
I created this experience mostly because I thought it would be fun, but also because some part of me wanted to prove to an increasingly fast-paced and tech-forward world that poetry β both poetic works themselves and the way they are presented β can be as exhilarating or distressing as any other activity or sport.
Is it working?
