Words in Air connects you instantly with poetry and place, in that very place - and from anywhere you happen to be.

This is a free, ad-supported version. A version without advertising is also available.

Look at poetry in an entirely new way, with Words in Air. This unique app is a self-contained poetry anthology by contemporary and classic poets, with over 60 poems linked to locations scattered across the United Kingdom. Discover the places which inspired famous poems -- ones you might already know and love, as well as places which have sparked inspiring work by a rich selection of newly, and well-established, award-winning published poets.

Tap on 'Nearest Poem' to enjoy a poem closest to your current location. Then tap into the background notes to help you understand its context. Discover even more about the poet, poem and/or place through the web link provided for each poem.

Experience how a familiar place can suddenly seem new to you, and how a new place can suddenly feel familiar, through realising that it inspired a poet!


Reviews

“What a wonderful thing this is. A brilliant idea, beautifully done. Don't leave home without it.”

“A much needed way of breathing life into classic poetry in the 21st century. Through these poems being made tangible and relatable via new technology, you'll feel like you know Keats et al and their inspirations that much better, enriching your reading.”

“I travel a lot and this ap has cheered many a slow train journey. More poems and poets please.”

“A great poem can say so much more about a place than any travel guide or Wikipedia entry, and this app is a neat way to pass the time whether you're passing through those locations or just wishing yourself away from wherever you may be.”

“Check out Robin Robertson in the Hebrides - an amazing verbal feast that makes you feel giddy, literally. Or Wordsworth in London.. This is a great idea, for anyone with a love of place or travel, let alone a love of poetry. Simple and elegant in its design and function. Highly recommended.”

“A brilliant idea. Let this lovely app know where you are and it will show you a poem written in, or inspired by, a place nearby. The poems have been chosen with exquisite taste. Places and verses can be browsed with ease - a much more rewarding way to pass five minutes than yet another game of solitaire..”
