Poem-a-Day - The poem slides under your skin

But the poem suddenly clings to you
As though your desires mean nothing
It clings to you, overpowering you
The poem slides under your skin
 

 — from “Between midnight and eternity”
Kettly Mars, translated from the French by Nathan H. Dize

Dear Friend,

 

As a regular reader of this newsletter, I imagine poetry slides under your skin as well. 

The Academy is closing out the financial year, and we are busy planning our work in supporting poets, poetry readers, and poetry education through the year ahead. 

As we work to ensure that poetry is available to all who imbibe this necessary artform, will you consider a donation? 

donate today!

Your gift today will provide access to the Academy’s digital collections of poems, poet biographies, poetry lesson plans, and Poem-a-Day to hundreds of thousands of poetry lovers at no cost, every day, all year long. 

Your gift today will support honoraria for Poem-a-Day authors and Guest Editors, contribute to the technology fueling the Poets.org platform, and
 facilitate the creation of educational resources for all ages.

If poetry slides under your skin, please help us finish our year strong. Be a part of this community, maintaining vital poetry resources for all. 

Warmly, 

Ricardo Maldonado
President and Executive Director
Academy of American Poets

P.S. Please help us provide poetry resources with a gift this year end. Donors making a gift of $50 and above will receive a blank notebook featuring a quote from former Academy Chancellor Alberto Ríos as a thank you.
