Button Poetry is indeed a legitimate platform. It was founded in 2011 by Sam Cook and Sierra DeMulder. The platform is known for creating a series of viral poetry videos with an avid following. It has helped create a national audience for slam poets and some cross-overs along with best-seller records and second printings for their books. The Button Poetry team attends regional and national slam poetry competitions, recording individual performances by slam poets and spoken word artists. These videos are then posted to YouTube, making the poems accessible to a global audience from a unified source. Button Poetry has received wider recognition and acclaim when one of their videos went viral and attracted the attention of major media. In addition to their video series, Button Poetry maintains an active blog. While most of the site is free to access, readers can also choose to subscribe to Button Poetry for an affordable $1/month to access exclusive content and a newsletter..
