30 Poems in November! 2023
30 Poems in November! is a literary fundraiser to support Center for New Americans’ (CNA) free English classes for immigrants, refugees, migrants, and asylum-seekers. Writers write a poem each day in November and ask family and friends to sponsor them.
The 2023 event raised an impressive $75,000 to support CNA’s mission.
The event was once again chaired by doctor and poet Sarah Sullivan, who has coordinated the event for 6 years running.
We extend our gratitude to all the participating writers and their impressive efforts:
