Poiesis started as something simple: I wanted one place to keep my writing, and to manage the notes around it. A writing app and a note-taking app in one, so my drafts and the thinking behind them live together.
I added morning pages because the daily practice (three longhand pages, first thing) has stuck with me since I found it in Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way. Poiesis makes room for that ritual alongside the work it feeds.
I’ve been writing for over two decades. Poiesis is my attempt to build the tool I always wanted, and to help other writers in my own way. I use it for my own work every day, and the poetry that comes of it I publish on Raven Shelf, my home as a writer. Poiesis is the desk where a piece is made; Raven Shelf is where it goes once it’s ready. Building the tool and writing with it, side by side, is what keeps Poiesis honest.
