Holiday Poetry Promotion: We're Giving Away Poetry Books to New Paid Subscribers in December

First, we want to say thank you to all of the nearly 6,000 (!) of you who have subscribed to this Substack. It has been a year full of poetry.

We’d like to give a gift back to new paid subscribers in December. If you have been on the fence about joining as a paid subscriber, now may be the time to give $5 a month to support poetry at the Rabbit Room.

We are going to send all new subscribers a poetry book as a thank-you for joining. If you’d like to pay it forward and gift a paid subscription to a poetry-loving friend, you can do that, too.

Here’s how it works:

1. Upgrade your free subscription to a paid subscription. Or, send one as a gift.

2. Choose one of the seven poetry books below and email your choice to content@rabbitroom.com.

3. We’ll reach out to you to say thanks and get your address, and then we’ll send a book your way at no extra charge.

What are Paid Subscriptions and Why Are They Important?

No matter what, you will always be able to read poetry on this Substack for free; however, paid subscribers also get access to articles about poetry and our Rabbit Room-commissioned poems.

In addition to helping us commission new poetry, paid subscriptions help support all the Rabbit Room’s many projects—Rabbit Room Theatre, Rabbit Room Press, North Wind Manor, Hutchmoot, Housemoot, The Local Show, the podcast network, the Lecture Series, weekly articles about art and faith, and the list goes on and on.

What Books Can I Choose From?

We’ve selected seven of our favorite books about poetry and books of poetry. (OK. Annie Dillard’s The Writing Life isn’t exactly about poetry, but it is too precious to leave off the list.)

When you upgrade your subscription, email your choice to content@rabbitroom.com and we’ll send you one of these books.

Thanks for supporting poetry at the Rabbit Room!
