Start by exploring our anthology, reading widely and deeply, before choosing your poem.
Our Poem Roulette feature is a fun way to find new poems and poets.
Ask yourself these questions to pick the right poem for you:
- Which poems do I want to read again?
- Which poems’ lines stay with me?
- Which themes or styles am I drawn to?
- What poets’ lives and work intrigue me?
Research poet biographies, poetic movements, and themes that interest you.
Check out poems that were recently added to the anthology and those that are 25 lines or fewer.
Use our Twitter account (our handle is @PIVLVP and the hashtag is #poemoftheweek), and our Facebook page to read new poems.
