Carpe Diem

Collected Works & Poems

Illustrated by Evan Robertson!

“Even while we speak, time flies. Seize the day. Trust not in tomorrow.” - Horace

Carpe Diem is a collection of classic works and poems carefully selected to inspire you to live every day with passion and conviction. The book includes soaring poetry, powerful prose, and bold, graphic illustrations that serve as a call-to-action for all of us on our crazy, ecstatic, tragic, beautiful, heartbreaking, amazing, one-way journey through our lives.

Since the Roman poet Horace first coined the phrase in 23 BC, carpe diem (“seize the day”) has become a rally cry to embrace life’s fleeting beauty while we can.

This carefully curated collection combines the timeless wisdom of some of our greatest writers - Horace, Khayyam, Tennyson, Dickinson, Yeats, Housman and many more. Each passage offers its own unique meditation on time, fate, and the art of embracing the moment.
