Reader—Poem-a-Day needs you!

View this email on a browser Forward to a friend Dear Reader— Whether you read or write poetry seeking insight, comfort, or a deepened engagement with language, you know just how much poetry matters.   As our nation's leading champion of poets and poetry, we need your help now to sustain Poem-a-Day, which is only possible with readers' contributions.   There's no poetry series like Poem-a-Day, which is the first place of publication for more than 250 poets each year, reaching 500,000 readers and more every week!   Please help us meet this incredible and increased demand and share poems with more readers in the year ahead.   Thank you!     Jennifer Benka Executive Director     P.S. To reach our fundraising goal this year, we need to raise $5,000 today—that's 112 more readers who choose today to bring poetry to the people in 2020. Will you be one?
