About Dead Poets Daily
No commentary, no ads, just poetry from the greats.
Dead Poets Daily brings you poetry from the public domain, weekdays at 9 a.m. (UTC). Poems typically enter the public domain about 70 years after the author’s death, hence a focus on poetry of the dead.
Dead Poets Daily is delivered ad-free, without commentary or judgment.
A note about subscriptions
Dead Poets Daily now has an optional paid subscription tier.
Paid subscribers receive a complimentary copy of A Year of Japanese Epigrams from Flickerwell Classics. This ebook, featuring 365 haiku grouped by season, is provided in the industry-standard EPUB format. It is compatible with a wide range of devices including Android and Apple phones, modern Kindles, Kobos, and other e-readers.
I like poetry but until starting this project, I hadn’t read a poem in years. If you also need more poetry in your life, I hope this service might help.
Kind regards,
Ario Smith
Editor, Dead Poets Daily
