Your support lasts all year

Dear Reader, I want to express my gratitude to the many of you who contributed to our fundraising campaign during National Poetry Month in April. While we landed just shy of our goal, your generous donations will provide critical support for our education program, which includes the multimedia Dear Poet project that reaches more than 200,000 students across the United States. Thanks to supporters like you, all of our educational resources, as well as our Poets.org website and Poem-a-Day series, are free. If you’d like to join our efforts, it’s not too late. You can make a donation or become a member. Your patronage enables us to continue making poetry accessible to millions of readers each month through our publications and programs. As the poet Gwendolyn Brooks once wrote, “We are each other’s harvest; we are each other’s business; we are each other’s magnitude and bond.” Thank you for sharing poetry. Sincerely, Jennifer Benka Executive Director Academy of American Poets   It’s not too late to claim a donor thank-you gift. Support Poem-a-Day and our programs with a contribution of $30 or more, and we’ll send you our new Gwendolyn Brooks magnet.
