Introducing the Poem Postcard Club 💌

Poetry delivered straight to your door.

There’s something so romantic about receiving mail (that isn’t a bill or spam). I’ve always loved postcards, specifically— how they pick up little scuffs and smudges along the way, like they’ve gathered a bit of the world on their journey to you. Each imperfection, oddly, makes it even more perfect: the creased corners, the ink a little faded, the proof that it’s traveled through real hands to land in yours.

I wanted to bring that same feeling to my poetry— something you can actually hold, tuck into a book, pin to your fridge, or even send along to someone else. There’s no denying poetry just feels different when it’s not on a glowing screen. It asks you to slow down, to sit with it for a moment…exactly how it was meant to be read.

Since starting my Instagram account last year, I’ve sent out dozens of poem postcards to my beloved readers—small gestures of gratitude for reading and sharing my work—and every time, it’s created this beautiful little moment of connection. People tell me how much joy it brought them, how it arrived exactly when they needed it, how it brightened their day in an unexpected way.

It’s such a simple thing, but it’s always felt meaningful, this bridge between me and someone else, built out of paper, ink, and intention. It’s a pause in the middle of an ordinary day, and I wanted to find a way to invite more people into that feeling.

And then it hit me like I was remembering something: Poem Postcard Club.

Each month, members will receive a beautifully designed postcard featuring one of my poems, printed on thick, high-quality cardstock. Every postcard features an original poem, accompanying hand-designed collage art, a thoughtful note, and the official club stamp— a little piece of art made just for you. Think of it as a love letter to slowness, to small joys, to the kind of mail that makes you smile before you open your mailbox.

Here’s how it works:

1. Subscribe for $10/month
   Your subscription covers the cost of design, printing, and shipping.

2. Watch the Mailbox
   Keep an eye out for your postcard—a beautiful piece of art delivered right to you each month.

3. Enjoy!
   Display your postcard, share it with a friend, or snap a photo for social media to spread the joy.

I wanted this to feel like more than just another thing arriving in your mailbox— it’s a small ritual, a moment to slow down and hold something real. In a world that moves fast and mostly lives behind screens, there’s something grounding about paper and ink, about knowing someone took the time to send something meant just for you. That’s what the Poem Postcard Club is at its heart: a small, deliberate act of connection, a reminder of what poetry does best— turning the ordinary into something worth pausing for.

If that feels like something you’d love, you can sign up here:
