About The Book

Humanity exists in a hyper connected world, where our closest friends, loves and enemies lie but a keyboard stroke away. Few know this better than the poets who have risen to the top of their trade by sharing their emotion, opinion and art with millions of fans.

What happens when...
Poets connect with readers?
Poets connect with each other?
Poetry connects with short fiction?


Combining the forces of some of today’s most popular and confessional poets, [Dis]Connected presents poems and short stories about connection wrapped up in a most unique exercise in creative writing. Follow along as your favorite poets connect with each other; offering their work to the next poet who tells a story based on the concept presented to them.
