A collection of poetry prompts designed to help you begin, wander, experiment, and find your way into new poems.

Whether you’re starting from a blank page, returning to your writing practice, or simply looking for a new way into a poem, these prompts are meant to create possibility rather than prescribe an outcome. Move through them in order, choose one at random, return to the same prompt more than once, or use them as a starting place and go completely off course.

Inside the workbook:
• Original poetry prompts and writing exercises
• Space for reflection and notes
• Invitations to experiment with image, memory, language, and form
• A resource you can return to whenever your writing feels stuck
