The Academy of American Poets is pleased to announce the publication of POEM-A-DAY: 365 Poems for Every Occasion, released by Abrams Books, December 2015.
Inspired by the digital series Poem-a-Day, this book is organized chronologically, in keeping with the themes of the seasons. It also features an index that organizes the poems by occasions and other themes.
Presenting poems from acclaimed poets—including Langston Hughes, Louise Glück, and William Carlos Williams, among others—and emerging poets alike, this 400-page book is curated to encourage the daily practice of reading poetry. As Edward Hirsch writes in his introduction to the book, “Poetry is a means of transport, taking us back in time, carrying us forward, lifting us up… Read one poem per day over the course of a year and you will find yourself befriended by poetry.”
