Carry Poetry Daily
National Poetry Month 2024 is almost over, and our inaugural run of Poetry Daily totes is nearly gone—at the end of this week, they'll no longer be for sale. Choose from an evergreen Poetry Daily logo tote, featuring the last line of Diane Seuss' poem, "Romantic Poet," and a companion black tote, featuring a specially commissioned illustration. |

An Interview with Ricardo Maldonado
"My lived experience is that poetry can be something like secular faith in what we have to offer one another. I’d like this to be corroborated by institutions and community centers all over the U.S. and all over the world. The world needs more poets because poets evaluate how language matters and why it matters and how the world that we build with language matters. We can do that work through the Academy. Poem-a-Day is a great example. But I want to see a plurality of venues."

What Sparks Poetry:
Lindsay Turner on "Forms of Displeasure"
"In The Upstate, I was trying to connect the regional experience of a place, a certain corner of Southern Appalachia, with the bigger structural issues of America of 2016-2020, roughly, and of the world. I was trying to do this in poems because it’s also what I was trying to do in real life, struggling against the claustrophobia of depression and anxiety as well as of certain region-based patterns of writing and thinking." |
