{"id":49324,"title":"Why I Created Poetica","description":"Poetica began with a simple idea: that words shouldn\u2019t just be read, they should be worn.\n\nThis is the thinking behind the brand. The moments, observations, and experiences that became poems, and how those poems evolved into designs. A reflection on authenticity, creativity, and creating something meaningful in a world full of noise.","content":"

Since I started writing poetry a few years ago, I\u2019ve been looking for a meaningful way to share it.<\/p>

The traditional routes to publishing poetry often seem to favour those already established, or those who follow a particular path. And even then, a book or pamphlet may only be read once or twice before being set aside.<\/p>

What I\u2019ve always loved most about poetry is its ability to say more than what\u2019s written.
Through analogy and suggestion, a few words can carry layers of meaning, often different for every reader.<\/p>

But how could I share my poetry with an audience that doesn\u2019t yet know me?
How could I make it accessible, without following the usual routes?<\/p>

That\u2019s when the idea came.<\/p>

What if I could take the lines or phrases from my poems that truly resonate, the ones that feel meaningful or thought-provoking, and give them a life beyond the page?<\/p>

What if those words could be worn?<\/p>

If a line connects with someone, it might become something they want to carry with them, a reminder, a reflection, or even a quiet statement to the world.<\/p>

So I began reading back through my work. Hundreds of poems.
And I quickly realised something important.<\/p>

Not every poem is great, far from it.
But even in the ones that fall short, there can still be a line or phrase that stands out.<\/p>

When those lines are lifted out and allowed to stand alone, they can take on a new meaning entirely.<\/p>

In many ways, it mirrors life.
We all begin with a blank page, and we have to start writing to get anywhere.<\/p>

So I built Poetica around that idea.<\/p>

Clothing inspired by original poetry.
Words designed to be worn.<\/p>

If you enjoy poetry, thought-provoking ideas, or meaningful phrases, this is for you.<\/p>

And there\u2019s more to it.<\/p>

The clothing is made using sustainably sourced or re-milled cotton.
Items can be returned and recycled as part of a circular system.
And the full poems behind the designs will be shared, freely.<\/p>

This is just the beginning.<\/p>

Our collections are chapters in an evolving story, and the first is on its way.<\/p>

Thanks for reading.<\/p>
