Today, few venues exist that are dedicated to the promotion of emerging poets, and yet the early years for these poets are some of the most formative in the gathering of an audience and in the creation of an identity within the arts. Emerging poets are not new poets or beginning poets, they are poets who have already found their voice and know their skills; they are not starting out, but rising, ready to burst from the page. In just a few years these emerging poets will be household, even classroom, names. In her first volume of a series that will update annually that debuted as the #3 Best Seller in Poetry Anthologies on Amazon, Abriana Jetté in The Best Emerging Poets of 2013 has selected a treasure trove of poems that spotlights today's most appealing, seductive, and intellectually stimulating poets, featuring Caitlin Doyle, Jonathan Escoffery, Megan Fernandes, Chloe Honum, Binh Nguyen, Rebekah Stout and Dariel Suarez.

Abriana Jetté's second book, 50 Whispers, was released in December 2014 and reached the #1 Best Seller rank in Women's Poetry on Amazon.

Her third poetry anthology, 50 Whispers - Vol. II, was released in June 2017.

In January 2019, she released her inaugural Stay Thirsty Poets - Vol. I anthology under her own Stay Thirsty Publishing imprint, A Rove-Over Book.

Abriana Jetté earned an M.F.A. in Poetry from Boston University, where she was a Robert Pinsky Global Fellow, and an M.A. in Creative Writing and English Literature from Hofstra University, where she graduated with Distinction. Her work has appeared in the American Literary Review, The Iron Horse Literary Review, Word Riot, The Boiler, Every Day Poets, and many other journals. She has received grants from the New York Foundation for the Arts, and residencies from The Renaissance House and The Southampton Writers Conference. She teaches at St. John's University and the City University of New York and recently completed her Ph.D.
