Overview

"We are so lucky to have poetry. We should read as much of it as humanly possible" - Luisa Muradyan

In 2025, read a book of poetry every week, or read 52 poetry books for the year. 

The 52 week format is a guidance to keep you on track. Participants don't have to read to a strict one-book-per-week schedule. Whether it takes you a week, 26 weeks or 52 weeks to complete is up to you. 

Altogether 52 poetry books of your choice have to be read by the end of 2025.
