Every day, we are finding new resonance—through poetry

Dear Reader,

There’s nothing like Poem-a-Day, which celebrates what Arthur Sze says about poetry, that it “is language at its most intense.” Poetry’s “concentrating power,” he continues, “is uniquely suited to magnifying the resonance of surprising juxtapositions.”

It’s in poems that we’re prompted to reflect on fundamental questions that help us understand ourselves, one another, and our world.

Poem-a-Day offers this every day—from 260 new poems by today’s poets to the more than 100 poems we present on the weekends, reintroducing poets from the past. And we’re able to do so only because of your partnership. Please, if you’re able, take a moment now to support this special series in 2023.
