A poetry book to match their personality

We think proper personalization means more than just sticking their name on the front. While building one of our poetry anthologies, you can add names and photos using our supremely simple-to-use site. Plus, you can choose from a selection of design themes cooked up by our tremendoubly talented creative team.

Written and compiled by poetry pros

We leave writing poetry to the greats. When compiling your anthology, you can switch and swap over 100 poems written by people who can really wield a nib. They’ve been lovingly collected and curated by Ana Sampson – bookaholic, cat-lover and seasoned poetry anthologist.

I want to buy this multiple times - each book would be different even with the same selection of poems.

Poems for You: Wedding Edition FAQs

The anthology includes a mix of works by the world’s favorite poets plus poems from new, up-and-coming writers whose words the world has yet to discover. The mix is up to you, you can swap out poems for ones you prefer from our database.

Unlike most of our books, this one’s not for children. Don’t get us wrong, we’re all for getting kids into poetry early, but this anthology has been carefully curated for poetry-loving adults who have a wedding on the horizon.

You absolutely can. This anthology of wedding poetry is composed of work from our hand-picked selection. You can go with our recommendations, or choose your own from the list. This bit’s important: you can’t include any poem that you can think of – and for good reason. Our editor, Ana, has pain-stakingly chosen poetry that flows from cover to cover. She’s a well-known anthologist with quite a track record, so she knows a thing or three about poetry.

Yes. The anthology is peppered with small, oh-so-tasteful illustrative flourishes that complement the poems. You can also upload a photo of the couple you're gifting this book to.

Some do, some don't. We love a good rhyme (as anybody who's bought one of our children's books will know). But not all poetry has to rhyme. You heard it here first.
