Everyday Poet

I’m a poet interested in sharing my work and the work of others on a non-algorithmic, non-commercial platform that that does not want anything from you but your enjoyment of the unique poetry community found in D.C., Maryland and Virginia. I do not have paywalls so everything is free to subscribers.

Why subscribe?

Subscribe to get completely free access to the newsletter and website. In addition to poems, I’ll be posting events in the local D.C. area. If you are a poet, or have a poetry program in our community, let me know and I’ll put it in the Coming Up section of newsletter. Never miss an update.
