That Poetry Thing…

…is a newsletter (and future podcast) that showcases writers' desks and writing habits, and offers readers a glimpse into their creative process.

Newsletters will start coming out on June 2nd, and our podcast, coming this autumn, already counts with interviews with novelist Sophie Mackintosh, poet Crista Siglin, and photographer Oliver Blohm.

About me

I'm Yessica Klein, a poet based in Berlin, Germany. I hold a MA in Creative Writing from Kingston University (London, UK) and was shortlisted for the 2021 Aesthetica Creative Writing Award and the 2017 Jane Martin Poetry Prize.

My writing has been published in Magnum Photos, Polaroid Originals, The Moth, 3:AM, and many more literature and culture publications. I am also a writer and editor for tech, sustainability, and education start-ups.
