the ironbloom dispatch

The Ironbloom Dispatch is a poetry subscription club that includes an original poem, typed by hand, and delivered to your mailbox once a month (or at whatever rhythm you choose at checkout) on the backs of snails.

A Slow, Tactile Ritual in a Digital World

Every dispatch is typed on 4x6 paper using a restored travel typewriter, tucked into an envelope alongside an original poetry or journaling prompt and note, and sent through the post. Other goodies will also be included as I create or come across them, such as possibly a photo print, a bookmark, etc.

It’s real, physical mail, something tangible to hold, unfold, and carry through the month.

• Read it as a solitary late night ritual.
• Tuck it into the pages of a favorite book.
• Frame it and create a gallery wall of poems.
• Send a matching subscription to a friend so you can open and read your dispatches on the very same day, miles apart.
• Write a poem or response to the prompt and mail it back!

These poems explore beauty, longing, ordinary moments, and the small mysteries that make us human. Each dispatch will have a different vibe and perspective, but all from my heart. If you're looking for a custom poem written for a specific person or occasion, I'd be happy to create one, just reach out.
