One line of poetry can work like a spell — conjuring a memory for one person and pulling gospel from someone else. A Line Meant, a beautiful project originated by Wisconsin Poet Laureate, Dasha Kelly Hamilton, uses lines from published poems to connect the creativity of neighbors and the humanity of strangers. ✨

How it Works:
Whatever the poetry line makes you think or feel, let that be the spark for your own poem.
Upload your poem draft (it's best to cut and paste using "CTRL+Shift+V").
You'll have until midnight on the last day of the month to edit your poem before it’s added to the exchange. ⏳

At month's end, you'll receive a poem from someone else who wrote to the same prompt.
You’ll be able to view all the poems written to the prompt and mark your "Must Read" favorites.

Analog Option:
For writers without internet access or computers, we welcome handwritten and mailed poems.
The poem matches will be shared via postal mail. ✉️.
