National Poetry Month 2025: Tributaries
This National Poetry Month on All Lit Up, Tributaries brings together 23 poets in a month-long celebration of verse, connection, and inspiration.
Each day, a featured poet will share their own work alongside a recommendation—highlighting the words that have shaped them, challenged them, or deepened their love for the form. Like the many streams that feed a river, these voices converge in a space of discovery, inviting you to explore the poetry that moves us.
Whether you’re a lifelong reader of poetry or just beginning to wade in, Tributaries offers a place to listen, reflect, and celebrate the power of language. Join us as we follow these currents, one poem at a time.
All of our NPM featured collections are 15% off this month with promo code TRIBUTARIES
