Screen Shot 2021-08-20 at 3.56_edited.pn

Windfall Room is a poetry publication & archive presenting high-quality video recitations.


We love all manner of poems. The most common way to experience a poem, even on digital platforms, is through the written word. Far less common by comparison, but no less wonderful, is to experience a poem well-recited by a human. We wish to be a place for recited poems.

Each issue Windfall Room publishes a poet reciting one of their own works in a high-quality audio/video format. There is no accompanying text version of the poem.
