How to Start a Poetry Card Collection
A poem doesn't have to live only on a page. A poetry card pairs a single poem with original artwork on premium stock — small enough to mail, beautiful enough to frame, and meaningful enough to keep. If you've never collected them before, here's a simple way to start.
Begin with a theme you love
The best collections have a thread. Ours is a place: San Francisco. Each card in the Poetry Card Collection draws from the debut collection San Francisco Is My Home, so the set holds together as one story told five ways.
Start with the set, then go deeper
The five-card set is the easiest entry point — all five watercolor designs, at the best value. From there, collectors often pick up individual cards to gift or frame, and watch for new series as they release. Underneath the Golden Gate, our second series, is already available to pre-order.
What makes a card worth collecting
Quality matters. Our cards are printed on 16PT stock, coated and soft-touch laminated on both sides, with raised gold foil — made to last and to feel like an object, not a print-out. Limited-edition metal prints take the same artwork further, with hand-signed editions available only at live signing events.
Give them a life
Frame a favorite. Send one instead of a greeting card. Keep the set together as a small gallery of a city. However you collect, the point is the same: a poem you can hold, and return to. Browse the collection to begin.
