Some gifts are opened once. This one is opened every week.
Give someone special a year of beautiful words and music. A thoughtful gift that continues long after the occasion has passed.
A gift that arrives a little at a time
Flowers fade. Chocolates disappear. Most presents are opened, admired, and eventually forgotten. But imagine giving someone a gift that arrives every Wednesday. A moment to pause, read, reflect, and perhaps feel something unexpected. And once a month, a poem comes to life through the spoken word, accompanied by music.
Every Wednesday brings another poem. And with it, another little reminder of you.
That’s Parchment & Pulse.
A year of poetry and music, delivered personally to someone you care about.

From the poet
A poem can make us smile, remember, dream, or simply stop for a moment in a busy day. And when words meet music, something else happens. They become an experience we can return to.
My hope is that every poem your recipient receives becomes a small moment worth keeping. — Keith Whiting
