« La poésie partout invente des projets rassembleurs et diffuse des activités poétiques variées. Ayant à coeur la diversité des pratiques poétiques, nous développons des moyens de médiation et des tactiques de dissémination pour permettre à la poésie de rencontrer divers publics et d’investir différents lieux. Parce que la poésie doit être faite partout.

La poésie partout agit en complémentarité avec les individus et les organismes qui œuvrent en poésie et en art de la parole, que ce soit dans l’organisation d’événements, la publication ou la médiation. La poésie partout crée des liens entre ceux qui font et ceux qui aiment la poésie, ainsi qu’entre les différentes communautés (régionales, culturelles et linguistiques) qui composent le dynamique milieu de la poésie.

La poésie partout veut souligner ce dynamisme, qui prend vie sous différentes formes, que ce soit à l’oral, à l’écrit ou sur l’écran, et contribuer à ce foisonnement. Nous croyons que la poésie est un territoire de dialogue, de rencontre, de découverte et de création. »
