When you think about the version of business that would hire a writer-in-residence, a dating application may possibly not be just what pops into the mind. But think again, because senior gay dating application Grindr has actually accredited the very first poet . The application is preparing to launch an electronic digital system labeled as "towards," on which they decide to release a number of video poems regarding homosexual experience . Grindr retained Uk blogger Max Wallis for the task.

Wallis says the poetry will not be explicitly about Grindr by itself, but rather a creative look at just what it methods to be gay in 2017.

"this issue is as a lot gay encounters in general as [it is] the app. But, as [Grindr] is part of that knowledge, it should be a way to obtain inspiration to an extent," Wallis stated.

"Poetry is mostly about distilling a personal experience. If there is a program for all the gay knowledge, also to commemorate that, every much better."

This feels like it will be really cool. After all, what exactly is sexier or higher intimate than great poetry?
