About

Istanna is a space for slowing down and looking closer – at language, at poetry, and the quiet moments we might miss in a busy world.

It's both a resource hub for students and a home for Quiet Margins – a monthly poetry subscription designed for reflection and gentle journaling.

On the main site, you'll find resources for poetry analysis, IB/CIE English exams, and more. On Patreon, Quiet Margins offers seasonal and monthly poetry bundles to inspire a slower, more intentional reading life.

Istanna is created and curated by a Literature MPhil with years of study and teaching experience, blending academic rigour with a love for accessible, meaningful reading.
