Since 2018, the Academy of American poets has invited twelve guest editors to each curate a month of Poem-a-Day, the original and only daily poetry series sharing previously unpublished poems by today’s poets.
The 2019 cohort of guest editors—who included the current U.S., state, and city poets laureate—are all award-winning poets who represent wide-ranging expertise and editorial perspectives, hailing from California to Virginia. Learn more about our 2019 cohort, read their poetry, and browse the poems they curated for Poem-a-Day.
