View this email on a browser Forward to a friend Dear Poem-a-Day Subscriber,   As National Poetry Month 2015 comes to a close, I hope you might take a moment to support our work in the months ahead.   It’s only with your help that we are able to inspire the next generation of poetry readers and poets in April and year-round.   With your support, before the end of the year we will publish and promote more than 150 new poems by today’s talented poets in our Poem-a-Day series. We’ll expand our growing collection of lesson plans on Poets.org, working with teachers and partner organizations. And, from September 2015 to June 2016, we will send these lesson plans, great poems to teach, and other free resources to the 8,000+ teachers who have subscribed to our Educator Newsletter.   With your support, together, we will inspire new readers of poetry, and possibly even a future laureate!   Help us pass poetry on. Please celebrate National Poetry Month with a donation to the Academy of American Poets and its many valuable free programs, including Poem-a-Day.                                             Sincerely,     Jennifer Benka, Executive Director     P.S. In gratitude for a gift of $30 or more, we’ll send you an exclusive Gwendolyn Brooks poet’s notebook.
