Academy of American Poets Launches New Website

Shelf Awareness

On the final day of National Poetry Month 2014, the Academy of American Poets marked its 80th anniversary by rebranding and launching a redesigned website at Poets.org that features changes like a restored classic American font Electra for use on the Web and enhanced mobile viewing, navigability and sharing experience.

In addition to the Academy's collection of poems, biographies of poets and reference texts, the revised website offers an array of new content, including geographically relevant information (such as local poetry events), essays on poetic terms and techniques, interviews with renowned poets and free lesson plans tailored for k-12 teachers (offered in partnership with 826 National).
