The Dream SMP Poetry Zine also known as The DSMP Poetry Zine or The Free DSMP Poetry Zine is a zine that was published in December 2022 primarily dedicated to poems from the Dream SMP fandom. It is set up under the fictional framework that each poem in the zine is written as if a particular character from the DSMP had written it. It also includes a few illustrations of scenes from the DSMP or DSMP characters sitting and writing.

Each interested author was assigned 2 or 3 characters to write poems for to assure an even spread of poems between different characters, and then had the choice to write any more poems they chose to. The illustrators also coordinated on which characters they would draw. In the end, 20 writers and 4+ artists were part of making the zine. It ended up with ~ 98 pages.

Selling or covering print costs was discussed, but for now it was decided to just put it up for free as a PDF, to avoid printing costs.

The first discussions of putting together the zine happened in early fall, but the final publishing of the zine didn't happen until December 2022.
