2027 Wisconsin Poets’ Calendar
The 2027 Wisconsin Poets’ Calendar is now available. Order online or buy from any of our bookseller partners listed below.
The Wisconsin Poets’ Calendar is one of WFOP’s most cherished annual projects and a celebration of poetry with Wisconsin at its heart. Each edition brings together voices from across the state and beyond, alongside original art, highlighting the insight, craft, and imagination of poets with Wisconsin ties. More than a calendar, it is a gathering place on the page, an opportunity to share meaningful work, connect with readers, and take part in a long-standing tradition of honoring poetry in everyday life.
We extend our thanks to the 2027 editors, Kim Parsons and Sheryl Slocum, for their volunteer service and for the time, care, and dedication they have given to this year’s calendar.
