Our current wandering artist: Rayne Charging Thunder

✨ The Sleepy Poet Spotlight

Where creativity is seen, heard, and held.

The Sleepy Poet Spotlight is a monthly platform that highlights emerging and established creatives—artists, poets, musicians, writers, and cultural changemakers—through our website, social media, and real-world opportunities.

This spotlight isn’t just recognition—it’s a launchpad.

Each featured creative receives:

• A full feature on The Sleepy Poet website

• Promotional content across our social media channels

• Opportunities to sell their work (art, books, music, prints, etc.)

• Invitations to host workshops, perform at events, or be part of Sleepy Poet programming

• A community-focused Q&A or artist interview to share their story

• Access to networking connections through our creative collective and Rural Ink Society

The Spotlight exists to uplift underrepresented voices—especially rural, Native, queer, and marginalized creatives—who are often overlooked in mainstream spaces. We center the raw, the healing, and the rebellious art that comes from lived experience.

Each month, we shine a light.
And each light reminds us: creativity builds futures
