Our perspectives shape our art. At the Paper Crane, we're most intrigued by the perspective of youth. We believe there is a profound secret that lies in the innate nostalgia, joy, and tragedy of being young and losing youth. By placing an emphasis on the future of art and literature, we learn a great deal about both the present and the past.
​
The Paper Crane is about those things that make us human. There is no one way to be a human, and there is no one way to make art.

​Outstanding young poets

Our next anthology is currently open for submission. This time around, we're giving poets the opportunity to see their work in print. Submissions are open for poets around the world, and featured poets from North America will receive a free copy of the finished anthology following publication.
