Lines Worth Remembering is a poetry anthology published in collaboration between ALPJ & Sons and The Chrysalis BREW Project. Curated by editor Esperanza Pretila, the book gathers some of the most evocative and enduring works from the 2024 BREW Poetry Award shortlist. It is a celebration of language, emotion, and the timeless ability of poetry to connect people across backgrounds and experiences.

The anthology features twenty-seven poems from both emerging and established poets, each selected for its capacity to move, inspire, and linger in the mind long after reading. The works span a broad range of themes — love, loss, resilience, identity, and hope — revealing the shared threads of humanity that run through each verse. Every poem was chosen not only for its literary quality but for its emotional truth and the power of its lines to resonate deeply with readers.

Under the guidance of The Chrysalis BREW Project, Lines Worth Remembering embodies the organization’s mission to nurture creativity and celebrate authentic voices from around the world. The collaboration with ALPJ & Sons ensures that the book reaches a wide audience, bridging the artistic and publishing communities in a shared effort to amplify meaningful work.

Since its release in mid-2025, the anthology has been recognized for its depth, diversity, and craftsmanship. Readers and critics alike have praised its ability to balance artistry with accessibility, making it both a literary achievement and a source of inspiration.

More than a collection of poems, Lines Worth Remembering is a testament to the enduring influence of words — a reminder that even the briefest line, when written with truth and feeling, can stay with us for a lifetime.
