Poem-a-Day - Gather in Poems

Last night we gathered together with over four thousand readers throughout the country, and across the world, to find community through poetry. 

We hope you will watch and share the recording of last night's reading, as well as the anthology of the poems our readers selected. Please consider making a gift in support of this event—and all our programs throughout the year—to help us share more poems with millions of readers.

As Edward Hirsch has said, “Poetry rises out of one solitude to meet another in recognition and connection. It companions us.” In these challenging times, we are grateful to have your companionship, and sending our wishes for a safe and healthy Holiday.
