Your support can bring a poetry workshop to incarcerated youth..
Reader,
Poetry Daily isn’t just about reading poetry….
Tears have been running Dry for so long... Now I wonder why Dry tears come out?
Excerpt by J. C., a young poet in Poetry Daily's outreach program in the Fairfax County Juvenile Detention Center
A gift in any amount supports the often hidden work of Poetry Daily to foster the voices of young people with so much to express in our Poetry Alive! Program. This program sends MFA poetry students into the Fairfax County Juvenile Detention Center and Patrick Molinari Juvenile Shelter to teach poetry workshops to at-risk or incarcerated youths.
As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, Poetry Daily brings verse free of charge to the many communities we serve, including incarcerated youth, educators, and readers all across the world.
Please help us to keep poetry alive, especially for those who need it most.
