The Stag Project

Tactile Poetry in Athens, Georgia.

The Stag is a project that reimagines poetry as placeful and tactile. Follow us through our Instagram, Spotify Podcast, and Substack.

The poems we share are selected from the public domain or with permission from the poet or their estate. Our practice is to copy out these poems by hand to engage with them on a more tactile, mindful level.
