Trinity Reads Poetry 

Summer 2026


For over two decades, Trinity has brought its community together through Trinity Reads, a shared summer reading experience rooted in the school's classical, Christian mission. This summer, we're reading poems. Poetry is already woven into a Trinity education — students memorize and study it — and this year's selections have been chosen for their artistic merit, accessibility, and missional depth. Trinity faculty, staff, and parents submitted poems for consideration, and a curating group filtered them through those lenses to land on a collection that has something for every age.

We hope you find wonder and joy in these poems this summer, and we look forward to hearing about your experiences when school begins in the fall.
