Poetry Express: Poems for Every Mood

April 1, 2021

BEST OF THE BLOG 2021

This National Poetry Month on All Lit Up we bring you Poetry Express, a month-long series dedicated to poetry as a mode of travel—anywhere, anytime. In a year of isolation, poetry, more than ever, is connection, expression, and reflection. Poetry takes us places, both undiscovered and revisited.

Join us here on the blog throughout the month for our feature poets—including Q&As and poems for every kind of mood—and get 15% off any of our featured collections until April 30th. 

Scroll on for our line-up of poets and take a mini quiz to get matched with a poetry book!
