About the sleepy poet

The Sleepy Poet is a creative space dedicated to poetry, art, and the stories that shape us. Founded by Aliyah American Horse, a poet, artist, and advocate for Indigenous communities, this blog is a place where I share my poetry, creative process, and updates on my journey to create The Sleepy Poet bookstore.

Alongside my blog, you’ll find a curated collection of books, vintage items, and local art—each chosen to inspire creativity and deepen the connection to storytelling and culture. The Sleepy Poet is not just about the words; it’s about building a community that celebrates art, history, and the power of narrative.
