Especially in this moment when anti-immigrant sentiment is being reinforced, I'm happy to do something to help those who have come seeking safety, freedom, or opportunity. I remember times when I was an immigrant in another country and people helped me.

I am excited to be participating in this year's 30 Days of Poetry fundraiser for the excellent non-profit Center for New Americans--but I could not be doing this without YOU, my generous supporters. Please pledge an amount to support my writing a poem a day for the month of November. All funds go directly to help immigrants learn English, find jobs, and build better lives. If you pledge $1 a poem, you can support me with just $30, but if you can afford to pledge more ($5 a poem would be $150, for example; $10 a poem $300 and so on), please do. This is the only time all year I ask for money, and the cause is important, and your money couldn't be better spent than supporting this fantasically well-run charity. Please let your name run in my honor roll, too, so your gift can inspire others. Thank you!
