By supporting the Academy of American Poets, you are helping to make possible free and far-reaching programs and publications that champion poets, and that encourage the reading and teaching of poetry, including this website, Poets.org.
In addition to Poets.org, which for 20 years has made poetry accessible to many millions of readers, our other programs include National Poetry Month, the largest literary celebration in the world; Poem-a-Day, the leading daily publication showcasing new poems by today's poets; the American Poets Prizes, which include one of our nation's first prizes celebrating a poet's body of work; and trusted resources for K–12 teachers, including lesson plans and Teach This Poem activities.
By making a gift in honor of another individual, we may recognize their devotion to the poetic art form. Thank you for providing complete contact information for the honoree or memorial recipient's family so we may notify them of your generous gift.
