about

A tiny digital apothecary of verse. Tell us how you're feeling and we'll uncork a bottle for you — a poem to read, to save, to send to someone you love.

With deep gratitude to The Poetry Pharmacy in Bishop's Castle, Shropshire — Deborah Alma's bricks-and-mortar pharmacy where poems are dispensed for the heart. This site is a small love letter to that idea.

The library gathers poems from Dickinson, Yeats, Frost, Whitman, Rossetti, Hopkins, Keats, Shakespeare, Mary Oliver, Naomi Shihab Nye, Ada Limón, Maggie Smith, Wendell Berry, Andrea Gibson, Ocean Vuong, Danez Smith, Ross Gay, Pádraig Ó Tuama and others — read in full at Poetry Foundation, Poets.org and the poets' own newsletters.
