52 Weeks of Classic Poetry, Thoughtful Prompts, and Quiet Writing for Adults
One poem. Three questions. A little room to think.
A Year of Poems to Sit With is a guided poetry reflection journal for adults who want to slow down, read closely, and make more time to write. Each week pairs a classic poem with a short note about the work and three prompts alongside it. Notice a detail in the language. Feel what the poem stirs in you. Connect it to a memory, a relationship, or something you’re living through now.
Spend a quiet evening with Emily Dickinson’s “Hope” is the thing with feathers, revisit a favorite Shakespeare sonnet, or discover a poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar or Rabindranath Tagore. For writers, it’s a chance to pay closer attention to what a line can do, then follow it into your own words. A sentence is enough. If a poem gives you more to say, there’s a lined free-writing page waiting for you.
