Paper Buds Exchange
This page is designed for anyone interested in poetry, translation, transcription, or language learning.
Create a profile and exchange letters with others working across languages and archives. You can discuss poems, share translations, collaborate on difficult passages, or simply write to someone who loves language as much as you do. Just like Elizabeth Bishop, who maintained meaningful connections through letter writing, you can use this space to share ideas, build friendships, and connect with others through the written word. You can also use the daily writing prompt if you’re looking for a place to begin. Please use an alias and no real personal information to keep this page a safe space for everyone. Thank you!

Correspondance Note:
Please treat this space like a shared reading room. Write generously, listen closely, and respect the people behind each letter. Differences in language, culture, and interpretation are part of the exchange. Cruelty, harassment, hate speech, or unwanted advances are not. Messages or users promoting hatred, discrimination, or abusive behavior will be removed by the archive administrators.
