In the ever-changing world of Instapoetry, who are you following?

Once known as the best place to find cat memes and food pics, Instagram has become a platform for creative expression, beauty, and modern literature. For those of us who love poetry, instapoetry has allowed us to find our favorite new poets, seek out community, and express ourselves in new ways.

Instapoetry is constantly growing, changing, and bleeding into other areas of the internet. It can be hard to keep up to date with the latest trends. Just a few years ago everyone who loved poetry was following the likes of Rupi Kaur, Nikita Gil, and Amanda Lovelace. While they are still heavy-hitting poets, new poets are making a name for themselves. What’s more, poetry collection accounts are gaining popularity, which allows readers to discover new poets daily.

So, who should you follow if you are a fan of Instapoetry? Here are 20 popular Instapoetry and poet accounts to follow now.

Poetry Is Not A Luxury

The farthest horizons of our hopes and fears are cobbled by our poems, carved from the rock experiences of our daily lives. – ♡Audre Lorde
