Become a Supporter
Your support helps keep poetry accessible, independent, and alive.
Whether you choose to become a monthly patron or make a one-time donation, your support directly sustains poetry education on a global scale. It fuels projects like The Poetry Vessel Podcast, where we feature work by poets from around the world, and our Master Your Craft series, which helps writers strengthen their skills and become more confident, intentional poets.
At a time when arts education is increasingly under threat, your support allows us to keep creating free and accessible videos and podcasts, cover essential production, software, and equipment costs, while enabling the development of new writing workshops, poetry courses, books, creative writing resources, and more. Most importantly, it gives Malibu Poet Laureate, Nathan Hassall, and his wife, Rachael, the space to continue writing, teaching, and building The Poetry Vessel with care, depth, and independence. Your support sustains a creative platform dedicated to providing ongoing inspiration, learning, and creative momentum for you and the wider community.
This work exists because people like you believe poetry still matters — and that belief means more than we can, ironically, put into words.
