We’re on a countdown! Your gift today will be doubled if we can make our goal

Dear Reader,

I have some exciting news: our Board member Larry Berger and his wife Anouk will match any gifts made today only, up to $20,000. Today, if you’re able to donate, your special gift to support this one-of-a-kind series will be doubled—$50 will become $100, $250 will become $500!
“Poem-a-Day and the curation done by you all has been so important to me for so many years. For me, as a younger writer, and for so many people across the globe, it’s such a resource.”

—Diane Seuss, Pulitzer Prize–winning poet.

Readers like you make Poem-a-Day and its daily publication and worldwide distribution of new poems possible. With special thanks to Larry and Anouk, your gift today will go twice as far to enable us to pay the poets featured in Poem-a-Day and to keep the series free-of-charge.

Thank you for being a part of the Poem-a-Day community.

With appreciation,
Tess O’Dwyer
Chair | Board of Directors
Academy of American Poets

P.S. Help us raise $20,000 today to unlock a special challenge grant from Larry and Anouk. Let’s not let a single gift go unmatched. Double your impact when you make a contribution today!
