Celebrate Poetry Month by Giving to Poetry Daily!
April marks not only Poetry Month in the U.S. but Poetry Daily’s anniversary month and our annual spring fund drive!
As we begin a new year of bringing you a daily look at the best in new poetry, as well as the latest poetry news, reviews, interviews, and critical commentary, we ask you to join us once again in our mission to make contemporary poetry accessible to all by making a generous donation to Poetry Daily. Your personal support is crucial to our continuing! Join us today! Help us to continue in daily service to you and to poetry. Thank you so much for your support!
AND: Don't Miss Our Poets' Picks for Poetry Month!
April is on the way and, as always during Poetry Month and our annual fund drive, we've asked 21 past PD poets (including Lee Upton, Marcus Wicker, Tomás Q. Morín, and Adrienne Su, pictured here) to select poems to be delivered to you by e-mail on Monday through Friday of each week in April — their favorites from among The Greats — and to add their comments on the poems.
Sign up now (and tell your friends-in-poetry)! (Note: if you already receive our weekly e-newsletter, you need not sign up again).
And in the meantime, if you missed last year's feature, have a look at last year's picks...
A Poetry Daily Prose Feature:
"How do we find pleasure—and accept it—in a world where grief is a certainty? And if we can’t, what might we lose? I found myself thinking of pleasure, peril, and the gathering of a motley crew while reading Rocket Fantastic, the third book of poems by Gabrielle Calvocoressi."—Sam Ross, On Rocket Fantastic by Gabrielle Calvocoressi
