*App of the Day* - September 2, 2020
*Apps We Love Right Now* - July 3, 2020
Welcome to Poesie!
Poesie is an app for poetry lovers. We are a community from all around the world that comes together each day to read, record, and discuss poems - introducing you to great poetry while helping poets earn payment for their work.
Here’s how it works:
• (Best of new and classic poetry) We partner with award-winning publishers to bring you selections from some of the best poetry books being published today. Each week we feature the work of a different poet, and we also mix in selections from the classics.
• (Learn while you read) 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!
• (Engage and interact) All of our poems are interactive and social, paired with audio and visual artwork. 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 care about supporting the world of poetry, want to keep up a habit of reading poetry every day, 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 even read short stories.
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.
