Poem-a-Day - Your gift to poetry matched!

I have some exciting news: an Academy board member has pledged to match any gifts made TODAY only, up to $20,000. Your special gift in support of all the Academy’s programs will be doubled—$50 will become $100, $250 will become $500 in support of all our programs and publications!

Today, I’m asking for your help to support all our unique offerings, including Poets.org, Poem-a-Day, Teach This Poem, and more, free for an ever-growing readership of all ages. And, if you’re able to make a special contribution today, thanks to our board donor, it will be doubled!

“Poetry now is as necessary as ever.” —Ilya Kaminsky, Academy Chancellor

I’m grateful to you for sharing in the belief that poetry is as necessary as ever, and for your being a part of our community. Please consider making a gift today, when it will go twice as far, in honor of National Poetry Month. 

With your help, we will be able to make thousands of poems and poetry resources available for more than two million readers each month.

With hope,
