Poets.org: Online since 1996, with thanks to you.

View this email on a browser Forward to a friend We’ve met our $5,000 goal, and doubled it! Dear Friend,   As you know, this year, we’re celebrating the twentieth anniversary of Poets.org—a trusted site that makes thousands of poetry resources available to anyone in the world, free of charge.   Poets.org enables teachers to bring poetry into their classrooms. It allows casual readers to become voracious ones. And, it tells the story of American poetry from the past to the present.  All of this, and so much more, is only possible with the support of our donors. Not having an endowment to support Poets.org, we rely on contributions from individuals like you. So, it is with profound gratitude that we celebrate the success of our recent $5,000 campaign, which will enable us to add poems to and enhance Poets.org. Thank you for helping us reach this important goal! As special thanks for your help in setting our sights even higher, we’ll be sending our new Poets.org stylus pen for any gift of $20 or more through August 15, 2016.  Once more, thank you for helping us serve more readers online at Poets.org. Sincerely,       Jennifer Benka, Executive Director     P.S.  If you haven’t yet donated but would like to, we are happy to send our new Poets.org stylus pen in thanks for your gift of $20 more when you give before August 15, 2016.
