Poetry Is Not a Luxury

Every poem is a revelation - Florence Welch

From the creator of the beloved @PoetryIsNotaLuxury Instagram account comes a gorgeous poetry anthology that serves as both a gift and a guide for readers through every season of life.

In Summer, you’ll find lush landscapes and love poems suited for weddings and anniversaries, alongside expressions of joy and exhilaration.

Autumn ushers in nostalgic poems about home, family, friendship, nesting, and gratitude.

Turn to Winter for lyrics about loneliness or an ode to comfort.

Spring is packed full of verse celebrating new beginnings and all that the future might hold.

Each poem has been selected from centuries of verse from around the world, with an emphasis on living poets. Friends old and new await, with selections from Rita Dove, Victoria Chang, Ross Gay, Naomi Shihab Nye, C.D. Wright, Eileen Myles, Ada Limón, Ilya Kaminsky, Jos Charles, and more.

From the heights of new love to the furrows of sorrow, from special occasions to a morning pick-me-up, there is something here for everyone, in any season of need.
