FRIENDS OF APR • We wish to express our gratitude to everyone who donated to the 2022–2023 Friends Campaign and our thanks to the following individuals for their particularly generous contributions.

THE PAST IS ALIVE WITH US • Jenny Xie’s “Red Puncta”

Become a Friend • “I think of The American Poetry Review as one of the strongest literary forces of our time. APR is where I go to both discover new poets and rekindle my love with some of the foundational poets. There are times when reading an entire issue, cover to cover, has reminded me of why I love poetry. It is a cornerstone for those of us hungry for poetry that’s both masterful and urgent.”
