Poetry matters.   Now more than ever, it's time to donate to what brings value to your life.   The Academy of American Poets needs you.   Thankfully,     Jennifer Benka, Executive Director     P.S. We only need to raise $16,390 more in order to meet our goal, which will enable us to continue serving more poets and readers every year. Please make your gift today, and help us in championing poets and poetry.   The Academy of American Poets is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Your gift today is tax-deductible for the 2016 year to the fullest extent of the law.
