Gwarlingo was founded as an arts blog, covering art in the broadest sense. After spending so much time looking and writing, Gwarlingo transitioned into a full-service design studio. Enjoy all the articles and poetry on this site, and connect with us at gwarlingostudio.com if you want help telling your own story. From web design to books to album covers, we collaborate with people to share their visions with the world. We look forward to seeing you there!

Gwarlingo brings you a contemporary poem each week, selected by Sunday Poem editor James Crews—with commentary, a writing prompt, and information about the poet. As Carl Sandburg said, “Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away.” You can also get the Sunday Poem in your inbox by subscribing to our newsletter here.
