I am taking on a creative challenge. I'll write 30 Poems in November to raise money for The Center for New Americans, an organization that welcomes immigrants in Western Massachusetts with free English classes and a range of other support services. Last year, one hundred poets raised $58,000. This year we are shooting for $60,000. I'll do my part by writing one poem each day in November. If you donate any amount to this campaign, I'll send a sampling of my work to you at the end of each week in November. (Remember, no one said they had to be good poems!!) Thank you for supporting my new poems for New Americans.
