Poem-a-Day - Poetry now is as necessary as ever

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

Dear Friend,

Every morning, hundreds of thousands of people like you share in the unique ritual that is Poem-a-Day, a community of readers supporting new works by poets from across the U.S. and beyond.  But these daily poems only exist because of support from poetry champions like you. 

DONATE TODAY!

It’s a comfort to know that more than two million of us are a part of a robust community, reading and sharing poems published and archived on Poets.org each month. Readers like you make Poem-a-Day and its daily publication and worldwide distribution of new poems possible. 

Donors like you, making gifts of all sizes, underwrite Poem-a-Day, enabling the Academy to send a new, never-before-published poem to more than 335,000 readers each morning and, importantly, to pay the Guest Editors and poets we feature. 

Make a donation today in support of daily poetry! 

In Community, 
Ricardo Maldonado
President and Executive Director
Academy of American Poets


P.S. This last day of National Poetry Month, please join our ever-growing community of supporters making Poem-a-Day possible for all with a donation.
