ABOUT THE PROJECT - 99 POEMS IN 99 DAYS

Since Walt Whitman, American poetry has been about democracy. It's been about reaching people on issues they care about in a voice they recognize.

The original project posted 99 original poems over 99 days by major American poets, mid-career writers, students, and ordinary Americans. It attempted to provide a plurality of voices, approaches, and visions.

We are happy to announce that all 99 poems are now available in book form. Visit Small Press Distribution or Amazon to order your copy today. Teachers and professors, please consider adopting this book for your classes.

Please feel free to peruse the site. We have left a few sample poems up on the blog to give you an idea of what kinds of pieces are contained in the book and to show some examples of how the poets have written about their poems.

Ultimately, 99 Poems for the 99 Percent demonstrates how the aims of poetry are in concert with the aims and ambitions of the vast majority of Americans. It is proof that poetry can speak in a vital, robust, and meaningful way about real issues to real people.

These poems are for you.
