Poesie: The Daily Poetry App

*App of the Day* - September 2, 2020
*Apps We Love Right Now* - July 3, 2020

Welcome to Poesie! Great poetry, curated daily. Free or paid membership options available.

Poesie is a book club for poetry lovers. Readers come from all around the world to discover, record, and discuss poetry - and to help contemporary poets earn payment for their work.

Here’s how it works:
• We partner with award-winning publishers to bring you selections from some of the best poetry books being published today. Each week features the work of a different poet, alternating classic with contemporary.
• We start off on Mondays by learning a bit about the life of our featured poet. Then, we read a selection each morning from one of their books. By Sunday, we hope you've discovered a new favorite poet!
• All of our poems are interactive and social. We encourage you to leave your own recordings and comments on poems you love… chatting with other readers is one of the best parts of the app.

If you want to keep up a habit of reading poetry every day, care about supporting the world of poetry, and are excited to interact with other poetry lovers, we’d love to welcome you to Poesie.

Poetry Libraries

Contemporary poetry: Our contemporary poetry library ranges from debut publications to Pulitzer Prize-winning work and features poets from a variety of countries. We offer all poets we work with a share of all membership fees - so a portion of every subscription goes directly to supporting contemporary poetry.

Classic poetry: Our classic poetry library guides you through the greatest poetry ever written from all around the world. You can explore the history of poetry with our poetry programs, search poetry by mood and genre,  and read bios of each poet.

Community poetry: We have a community library available to upload your own poems and read poetry by other users... please be supportive! You can also leave recordings, comment, and highlight your favorite lines on poems across the app.

Membership Options

Poesie is an independent, community-funded app! We offer the Poem of the Day free to all readers, but a subscription is required to access the rest of the app. When you first install the app, you can use a free trial to try Poesie for 3 days (no purchase required). Then, you’ll need to purchase a membership to continue reading the full app.

Membership dues are the price of a single book ($14.99/year), which are used to pay poets for selections from each book we feature and to cover development and support for the app. All membership dues are shared with our publishing partners!

Subscription options:
(1) Monthly - $1.99/mo
(2) Yearly - $14.99/year (save 30%)

Please note: if you don't want to keep a subscription, make sure to cancel 24 hours before the next subscription period to avoid being charged.
