Voices Incoporated began operations in 1995 in Valdosta, Georgia. However, in 2006, after dissolving their original business plan, Voices Incorporated reestablished themselves in Owensboro, Kentucky; the third largest city in Kentucky.

Online

Voices Incorporated made their online debut in 2007 through Yahoo!, adopting the .biz rather than the traditional .com. With collaborative voice and thematic publishing, Voices Incorporated publishes under an opened-submission format. With WordPress, Voices Incorporated encourages poets to post their poems online, allowing other poets to offer constructive criticism.

"i, too, sing america"

"i, too, sing america" is an ode to Langston Hughes' poem, "I, Too." During the Harlem Renaissance, Langston Hughes wrote "I, Too," in 1932. Hughes faced many difficulties in writing self-proclaimed "Negro" poetry and offered this poem as a response to Walt Whitman's "I Hear America Singing", prompting the editors at Voices Incorporated to publish a collection of poems, responding to Langston Hughes by defining what America means to each individual.

"Mutti"

Mutti is a German word for mother and is the title of the second collection of poetry by Voices Incorporated. Inspired by the quote from Honoré de Balzac:

"Mutti" offers a unique perspective on what mother means to each individual.
