I am one of several poets who have committed to writing thirty days of poems in March 2025, supporting Tupelo Press!
Why? Because Tupelo Press prioritizes diversity and inclusion, and publishes essential work.
Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal.
From NPQ:
“As the Trump administration takes steps to freeze federal funding to untold numbers of nonprofits and NGOs, some organizations that receive federal grants are scrambling to protect themselves by self-censoring.… Not all organizations intend to comply with the NEA’s new requirements. In a statement posted to Facebook, Tupelo Press, a nonprofit literary publisher, said it would not change its mission because of the NEA’s 'appalling' demands, adding: 'If our adherence to our principles means that we will be ineligible for NEA grants going forward, so be it. Compliance with the new regulations would be immoral.'”
So let’s support them and in this small way help reinforce what's good and right.
When finished, I will send a thank you gift to everyone who donates.
