Happy Birthday, hotpoet! Winter Fundraiser

About our online birthday fundraiser: 

December is a month of celebrations, and here is one you can add to your calendar: hotpoet has a birthday! We applied for our nonprofit status just in time to kiss 2020 goodbye. That means hotpoet, Inc. celebrates its first birthday this month! Of course we have been around a lot longer than that, (unofficially) building community and supporting the arts—but we are especially proud of our accomplishments in 2021. Not only did we publish Letters Sent Inland: Selected Poems of Glynn Monroe Irby, but we launched a bi-annual literary journal, Equinox, which showcases the works of some phenomenal artists and writers. With the help of judges enlisted from the community, we were able to honor their efforts with publication as well as several cash prizes—and we hosted some stellar celebrations throughout the year as well. In fact, our winter solstice celebration is pending, and we can’t wait to see old friends and welcome new ones as we heat up the longest night of the year with some exceptionally HOT poets.

If you have enjoyed our gifts to you over the past year, we invite you to celebrate our birthday with a gift of your own. A donation in any amount will be used to support our upcoming projects and help us with the work we do. Thank you for remembering hotpoet in this season of giving. We plan to keep giving back as we build a thriving network of artists and writers committed to using their voices to effect positive change in our world.
