Description
*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.

If you love poetry
You can’t do better than this app, if you love poetry. I just love it.

Best poetry app
I love this and use it everyday. It’s not just its design, layout etc, but the features too. Like the poetry a day where your peer readers can leave comments, discuss the poem… it all adds to your appreciation of the poem. Each week a different poet’s poetry is featured. So over seven days you get a good idea of the poet’s background, approach and style. Beyond this one can easily search for a poet or a poem that one is looking for. There are also collections by emotions, themes etc if you like. And courses on certain periods/eras etc.
While all these features are valuable, I find the community interaction the most distinguishing.
