Poetry for Playwrights is a spirited, surprising collection celebrating the quirks, doubts, triumphs, and obsessions of the theater-making life. Whether you're scribbling in the dark during tech rehearsal or brooding over a blank page at 2 a.m., these poems know you-and they're applauding.
Part love letter, part inside joke, this anthology brings together a range of poetic styles-from sharp couplets to soft free verse-to reflect the emotional chaos and creative joy of writing for the stage. It's a dressing room mirror of a book: funny, honest, and quietly glamorous in its own right.
Edited by S.L. Freeman, Poetry for Playwrights is part of the Poetry for the Rest of Us series-a project that honors overlooked voices, unsung jobs, and the poetry hiding in plain sight.
