Custom Commissions

If you're interested in finding a meaningful, personalized gift for someone you love or marking a significant moment or change for yourself, consider consulting one of our poets for a custom poem for the occasion!

One of our poets will meet with you in person or by phone or video call to discuss the topic, type of paper to print on, and any add-ons you might be interested in exploring. You will have the option of up to 2 rounds of reviews and revisions before receiving the final piece.

Shipping and handling is covered by us, commission costs are determined by poet and client with no one turned away for lack of funds.
