“Poetry from the Poetry Foundation, free for iOS and Android, is my favorite way to read poems digitally.”
Kit Eaton, The New York Times (Personal Tech)“Essential.”
— Bob Tedeschi, The New York Times“The POETRY app is successfully bringing poetry to people in a unique and revolutionary way.”
–Catherine Halley, Online Editor | The Poetry Foundation
The Poetry Foundation hired Tierra to design and build its wildly popular POETRY app for iPad, iPhone and Android devices, making available for the first time on a mobile device a virtual poetry library of more than 1,700 complete poems.
The POETRY app was nominated for a Webby Award in 2013 in the Education and Reference (Handheld Devices) category. The app has also received numerous other awards since it launched in 2010.
Browse the rich database of poems by mood, subject or poet.
When you give your device a shake, the slot-machine action matches emotions with subjects, revealing surprising juxtapositions like "contentment & youth", "guilt & family", etc.
iPad users can download and read the three most recent issues of Poetry Magazine as they appeared in print.
The updated POETRY app -- for iPads, iPhones and Android -- includes biographies of poets whose work is featured in the app.
