First started in 2016, Fire Poetry is currently a biannually-published online poetry journal, releasing issues in the Winter (around mid-January) and Summer (near the end of July).

The mission of Fire Poetry is to promote the importance of poetry in all its multiple uses, and to give voice to under-served or marginalized communities. |
