What Sparks Poetry is a serialized feature in which we invite poets to explore experiences and ideas that spark the writing of new poems. Most issues include a writing prompt.
Browse every issue of What Sparks Poetry by series title, writing prompt subject, or key word.
“Explore What Sparks Poetry” is made possible with funding from The Virginia Commission for the Arts.
