About the Program

Mindful Poetry Moments, incubated with The On Being Project, offers a chance to pause and reflect on poetry’s ability to encounter ourselves, the world, and the mystery of each other.

This special collaboration began as a way to provide young students an opportunity to encounter poetry in the course of a normal school day during National Poetry Month and has expanded to reach poetry lovers of all ages. This program is FREE to all schools, organizations, groups, and individuals!

During April, for National Poetry Month, we–

  • Curate four thought-provoking poems.
  • Record and produce 20 audio journeys where the poems are read aloud, guiding students through reflective listening exercises.
  • Design weekly worksheets with writing prompts inspired by the curated poems, encouraging students to create new poetry based on what they’ve heard.
  • Host a weekly virtual poetry writing, sharing, and connection session every Wednesday in April from 3-4 pm EST.
  • Encourage participants of all ages to submit their new poems for inclusion in the annual publication, showcasing the creative work born out of the program.

For this upcoming National Poetry Month, former Cincinnati Poet Laureate Manuel Iris has been selected as our Mindful Poetry Moments 2025 curator! Click here to read more about this Manuel and our Fall and Winter 2024/2025 Virtual Gatherings, and stay tuned for more news for Spring 2025.
