Long-Form Poems and Prose Poetry

“The act of writing is the act of existing in that moment.”
Welcome to Epic Quartos, a sanctuary for the expansive and the enduring. Dedicated exclusively to the art of long-form poetry and prose-poems, this site serves as both a bridge to the past and a beacon for the future of the narrative verse. We celebrate the foundational majesty of history’s greatest epic poems while actively cultivating a new generation of voices capable of capturing the complexity of the modern age. Alongside these curated works, Epic Quartos features the original epic compositions of its founder and editor, Michael Cummins, whose vision for the site is rooted in the belief that the “The Act of Writing is… The Act of Existing in That Moment.” Whether you are a scholar of the classics or an emerging poet with a story that refuses to be brief, we invite you to explore a space where language is given the room it needs to breathe, evolve, and resonate.
