• Poets.org, which for 20 years has made poetry accessible to many millions of readers;
• National Poetry Month, the largest literary celebration in the world;
• Poem-a-Day, the original and only daily publication showcasing new poems by today's poets;
• American Poets Prizes, which include one of our nation's first prizes celebrating a poet's body of work;  and
• Teach This Poem and other award-winning resources for K–12 teachers, including lesson plans and classroom activities.
