We see a lot of “eek! falling behind!” posts during the Challenge, and you know we love a good goal (💪🏾🤓), but today we’re celebrating the real goal of The Sealey Challenge, which is to #readmorepoetry—and remembering the words of Mary Oliver

Don't forget about chapbooks! Today's #TuesdayTip is to include chapbooks in your Sealey Challenge reading! The Poetry Center has many chapbooks you can browse in-person! @uapoetrycenter #sealeychallenge #poetry

Language makes tracks. —Lyn Hejinian Postcard designed by Tucson artist Allison Miller • alleycatmurals.org

poetry is a political act because it involves telling the truth. —june jordan #sealeychallenge #poetry

This amazing #SealeyChallenge community loves the ways poems move us like nothing else can. Every book, every poem, every line you've read this summer has been meaningful. Keep going <3

Have you seen our fabulous set of #SealeyChallenge postcards designed by local Tucson artist Allison Miller? You're invited to pick up these gorgeous freebies anytime at the Poetry Center! (And for faraway friends: claim your golden sealie + we'll send these as a bonus!)

Resharing this message as the #SealeyChallenge nears its final week: If you can’t read a book of poetry everyday, that’s okay! Accommodate yourself—and remember all time spent with poetry is worthwhile!

There’s still time to win some fabulous free giveaways FROM @graywolfpress Noemi Press @copper_canyon_press and Farrar Straus and Giroux when you play #SealeyChallenge bingo! Be sure to use the hashtag #SealeyChallenge with a photo of your bingo to enter!

This #SundaySuggestions we're curious about where you like to read—do you have a favorite cozy spot to curl up with poetry? (We absolutely love the comfy chairs and natural light in the Poetry Center!)

poetry can be dangerous—especially beautiful poetry, because it gives the illusion of having had the experience without actually going through it. —rumi #sealeychallenge #poetry

A final happy hour read-along to celebrate the (almost!) end of this year's #SealeyChallange!! Tucson locals, please join us this Wednesday at the Tucson Hop Shop 🍻 August 28 from 4:00-6:00 pm at 3230 N. Dodge Blvd.

August is about to draw to a close, and our final #TuesdayTip is this: return to these books again and again. Which books of poetry have you (or do you plan to) come back to over and over—and what made them so special? #sealeychallenge #poetry #readmorepoetry

Every poem is an action. Every action is political. Every poem is political. —Solmas Sharif Postcard designed by Tucson artist Allison Miller • alleycatmurals.org
