This is Enter Poem

Let me introduce you to my dream and how you can help make it come true.

Jun 23, 2025

Dear Friends,

For months, an idea has been knocking at the door of my heart. Come, let me introduce you to Enter Poem.

It is both a podcast and a collective of poetry lovers, learners, and listeners.

It is a space for poetry appreciation and education — where we slow down, listen closely, and meet poems not just with analysis, but with presence.

Beyond the podcast, EP extends into workshops, readings, and creative kinship to hold space for wonder, and to feel the joy of being moved by language.

We’ll officially begin on July 1st 2025

Why Enter Poem?

Because it is an invitation to not just read or write a poem, but to step inside one.

It could also be heard as a stage direction:

Enter, Poem: as if the poem itself is a character walking into a story, a room, a life.

Quietly or boldly, it arrives and makes us feel something.

What is that feeling?
And how can we pause to revel in it?

This is how:

Pouquet: A bouquet made of poems to walk you back to wonder, awe, and feeling deeply. Delivered to your inbox as a newsletter every Tuesday.
Hearth: A monthly gathering for writing, shared readings, and creative kinship. A circle for deep work, mostly online and in-person whenever possible.
Podcast: Every other week, we enter a poem and explore it together with a guest.

What does it mean to me?

Enter Poem is not a side project. It is my dream.
It is now my full-time work.

As a writer and lover of poetry, this is what I’ve chosen to build and to give myself to, fully.

A one-woman offering: I’ll write, record, edit, host, promote, and hold every part of this space.

If you’ve followed my journey, you’ll know that this began long ago. From 2015 to 2025, I worked tirelessly to bring poetry into public spaces in the form of garden gatherings, open mics, literature festival, walks, featured recitals, and workshops for adults and children. I did all this so I could keep poetry joyful, accessible, and alive.

Now, I’m gathering all my scattered labor under one roof.

A Note on Access

I believe poetry should never sit behind a paywall, because the ones who need it most may not always be able to afford it.

And the poems that saved me were given to me freely.

So Enter Poem will remain open, free, and available to all.
