The Academy of American Poets has partnered with Abrams Books to release a new poetry collection called Poem-a-Day: 365 Poems for Every Occasion.
The book is based on the digital series Poem-a-Day, which publishes a poem a day based on the season. The collection includes works by Langston Hughes, Louise Glück, and William Carlos Williams, among others.
“Poetry is a means of transport, taking us back in time, carrying us forward, lifting us up…,” writes poet Edward Hirsch in the introduction to the book. “Read one poem per day over the course of a year and you will find yourself befriended by poetry.”
