Poem-a-Day - Because poems companion us

Dear Reader, 

As this year and the many months we’ve endured apart from one another come to a close, we’re grateful for your gathering with us in poems. We hope it’s a comfort to know that at the exact moment you open your Poem-a-Day email, thousands of other readers do, too.

Together, we meet a poet we might not have known. And in our mutual moment of reflection, we are less alone. As Edward Hirsch wrote, “Poems companion us.”

Today, I’m asking devoted readers like you to ensure that the shared experience of reading Poem-a-Day is available to more readers. Please, if you’re able, make a special contribution to help underwrite this important and free, one-of-a-kind series. You make Poem-a-Day possible.

With heartfelt gratitude,
