We are getting ready to celebrate National Poetry Writing Month and in honor of all things poetry, we’ve got some daily mini-events planned throughout the month!

This will be a daily free-for-all! Anybody who wants to join in is encouraged to do so. You are not obligated to participate in all of these events, but we hope you join us whenever you can and whenever something interests you. This is simply something intended to encourage others to learn about poetry, read/write more poetry, and connect with others who are doing the same, which is ultimately what this month of celebrating poetry is all about!

We hope to provide everyone with the resources to improve your poetry as well as inspire you to reach your poetry goals and have fun with it!

We have the monthly agenda here for those of you who want to plan ahead. Check back to this page everyday as we will be updating it for a detailed look at the day’s itinerary!

I just bought this really nice notebook: one hundred thick golden-y old looking pages with a thick cover that looks so magical <3 It's my new commonplace book!

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.
— Brené Brown
