Letter 1: Welcome to Earth Poet
Why this space exists and what you’ll find here each week
Dear reader
Welcome to Earth Poet — a weekly newsletter exploring timeless quotes and the meaning they hold for how we live today.
Each Saturday, I’ll share a short meditation on a quote pulled from the pages or voices of cultural icons such as Joan Didion, Susan Sontag, Werner Herzog, Agnes Varda, James Baldwin, Virginia Woolf.
This isn’t about analysis or literary critique. It’s an attempt to look for what meaning we can take from it for us today and let it shift the way we move through our day.
With each piece, you’ll find journal prompts, thought experiments, and the occasional list of grounded takeaways — because sometimes the right questions can bring us back to ourselves.
You can subscribe for free to begin with or go deeper as a paid reader. Here’s how the rhythm of Earth Poet unfolds.
Every Saturday, paid subscribers receive a full-length Earth Poet reflection.
Free readers receive a new essay every second Saturday.
Once a month, all subscribers receive a midweek digest — a round-up of the quotes, insights, and moments I’ve been sharing over on Instagram.
And once a month, there’s the Dead Poet Advice Column, where your questions are answered in the voice of someone long gone. You won’t know who’s answering. But you’ll know the voice when you hear it.
I’m so grateful you’re here. Whether you’re reading for free or supporting this work as a paid subscriber, thank you.
The first quote drops this Saturday. I hope it finds you at just the right moment.
Much Love
— Earth Poet
