The Academy connects millions of readers to poets’ work with its many free programs and publications hosted on our Poets.org platform, including Poem-a-Day, the first place of publication for new poems by 260 poets annually; American Poets Prizes & Fellowships, which provides more than $1,000,000 to two hundred poets each year; our Reading, Conversations & Lecture Series; and educational programs for all ages, including the award-winning weekly series Teach This Poem offering free lesson plans for K-12 teachers and literary seminars, giving learners of all ages access to the nation’s top poets, critics, and scholars.

The Sidney E. Frank Foundation supports Poem-A-Day, the only daily digital series presenting previously unpublished poems by today’s poets. Accessed by over 335,000 readers and listeners, Poem-A-Day serves 260 new poems each year on weekdays and shares classic poems on the weekend accompanied by an About This Poem statement by the poet, audio of the poet reading their work, and other related content, all sent to subscribers’ inboxes and presented and archived on Poets.org.
