Membership Renewal
Your support enables the Academy of American Poets to produce Poets.org, Poem-a-Day, Teach This Poem, and other free programs that champion poets and encourage the appreciation of poetry.
By renewing your membership, you are part of what award-winning poet Carolyn Forché called “the most important organization in our country helping to keep poetry alive and in our culture.”
Renew today to keep your member benefits, including American Poets—our biannual magazine—, active throughout the year. Membership dues are tax-deductible, less the value of associated benefits.
