Poetry X News Archive

Permanent Link 1 Sep 2005 11:29 AM

Poetry X is deeply saddened by the losses of those in the American Gulf Coast area due to hurricane Katrina. It's hard to believe that New Orleans, at least as we knew it, is gone.

At first we weren't going to post anything about it and just keep our news focused on poetry and the site, but after seeing how poorly evacuation and rescue has been handled maybe each of us can make a difference. Every little bit helps.

To that end, we are encouraging our visitors to donate even a small sum to the American Red Cross Katrina Relief efforts, and we at Poetry X will be donating our advertising revenue this month to help support those who have been displaced by the storm.

NOTE: Some readers have questioned our Amazon Associate's ID in the link here - please be assured that we are in no way profiting from your donations, and only included our unique ID as a way of tracking how much Poetry X visitors have donated so we could possibly match donations given by our readership (which may not be possible, considering how generous our readers can be).
