Poetry Pharmacy Tongue Depressor Bookmark

A poetic prescription for finding your place.

Our Tongue Depressor Bookmarks are inspired by one of Deb’s favourite possessions, an original Boots Book-Lovers’ Library bookmark from 1943, and by the simple tongue depressors once found in the doctor’s bag.

We’ve reimagined them into these translucent, double-sided bookmarks carrying a small prescription of poetry.

Each bookmark is designed to be used every day, kept close and made to last. One side carries a poetic prescription for a particular moment or predicament, while the reverse bears its directions for use.

Choose from prescriptions including For Rainy Days and For Wandering the City Alone.

Finished with a simple string treasury tag, they have the pleasing air of something unearthed from an old lending library, apothecary or doctor's bag.

A small gift for readers, walkers, wanderers and the poetically indisposed.

Approx. 14cm long · Double-sided · Translucent sheet-plastic · String treasury tag

For best results: insert between the pages of a good book and administer poetry as required.
