Before National Poetry Month comes to an end


Dear Reader,

I’m writing with a special request before National Poetry Month comes to an end: if you value our resources, including the poems we share each morning through Poem-a-Day and the thousands offered on Poets.org, please make a contribution to support our work.

As a nonprofit organization, our programs are offered free of charge to millions of readers each month. We rely on the support of readers like you to make this work possible.

Make your gift within the next two days, and you’ll have the opportunity to claim our donor-exclusive Ada Limón blank notebook, featuring lines from one of her poems. It’s the perfect size to slip into a coat pocket or tote bag, and only available to National Poetry Month supporters.

Truly, your contribution of any amount will go a long way towards meeting the financial demands of producing the Academy’s programs and publications, which include our one-of-a-kind Poem-a-Day series, award-winning lesson plans for teachers, and one of the web’s most highly-trafficked sites for poetry—Poets.org.

Thank you for making our programs possible, and for your readership.

Gratefully,
Tess O’Dwyer
