Miles to go

View this email on a browser Forward to a friend Dear Poem-a-Day Subscriber,   Over the past week many of our readers have been sharing pictures of their favorite poetry books, some of which they found thanks to Poem-a-Day. We’re thrilled that more people than ever before are reading the poems we are publishing.   In the past two weeks we’ve raised more than $8,000 toward our $25,000 goal. Please take a moment to contribute to Poem-a-Day, which now reaches more than 300,000 readers through email, social media, and syndication.   I hope you will support this growing program and our work to promote American poets and poetry.   I also hope you might share your own photos of favorite poetry collections by tweeting them at us (@Poetsorg), posting them on Instagram and Tumblr, adding them to our Facebook wall, or emailing them to me at jenbenka@poets.org.   I look forward to hearing from you! Sincerely,     Jennifer Benka, Executive Director     P.S. Contributors who give $50 or more will receive a flash drive containing exclusive audio and video content from the 2014 Poets Forum, and those who give $250 or more will receive a special renga created by the Academy’s chancellors. Donate today!
