I hope you’ve enjoyed the selections we’ve published this April, and that you might have had some time to explore our other offerings this month, including our educational Poet-to-Poet project, which has inspired close to 1,000 students to write and submit poems to Poets.org. This year, as the Academy of American Poets celebrates its 80th anniversary, I hope you might take a moment to help us continue to deliver quality programming like Poet-to-Poet and Poem-a-Day. As a nonprofit organization with a devoted, but small staff, we rely on your support. If you haven’t yet donated this National Poetry Month, please do so today. We hope to raise an additional $5,000 to push us past our $25,000 goal to support our educational programs in the year ahead. I’m very grateful for your assistance.     Sincerely, Jennifer Benka Executive Director Academy of American Poets     You are receiving this e-mail because you elected to subscribe to our mailing list.
