I'm reflecting today on how deeply meaningful it's been amid this crisis to be a part of @Poetsorg and sharing poems with a growing audience seeking comfort and courage. We know that this moment calls on our creativity, generosity of spirit, and willingness to help others. In the past few weeks the Academy of American Poets helped launch, and we are continuing to work on, Artist Relief. We hope poets with dire financial need will apply to this national emergency fund. artistrelief.org
