Take Your Poetto Work

COLORING BOOK

tweetspeakpoetry.com

Once upon a time, the editorial team of Tweetspeak Poetry joked rather innocently by the virtual water cooler about taking our favorite poets to work with us. On popsicle sticks.

The next thing we knew, we were inviting people around the world to take their favorite poets—including Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, and Pablo Neruda—to work with them. On popsicle sticks.

Come celebrate on the third Wednesday in July!

Every year, we release a new group of poets—including Sylvia Plath, W. B. Yeats and Adrienne Rich—to add to the inaugural collection. And we’re offering you this new printable coloring book, putting all your favorite poets in one fun place for you to color, cut out and paste on a stick. *

Print one for all your coworkers. Leave coloring pages on the cafeteria table. Give them to your customers.

On Take Your Poet to Work Day, make a day of it with your poets, and tell us all about it. Tweet your photos to @tspoetry and use the hashtag #poettowork. We’d love to share your fun.
