This week, we\u2019re starting a campaign to raise $15,000 to bring Poetry Inside out to 250 new students<\/a> this fall. We\u2019d like to ask all the translators, publishers, writers, and readers out there to help us. If you love world lit, this is your chance to help bring that literature to young readers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

This is what we do: since 2000 PIO<\/span> has worked with more than 5,000 students through residencies that place poet-translators in Bay Area classrooms. Our program inspires children from the inside out. They learn to take risks, be creative, and use imagination and critical thinking skills as they read, write, and translate poems by the world\u2019s great poets. Our curriculum includes poems in Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic, Latvian, Italian, and Japanese\u2013children are introduced to writing from all around the world, and hopefully they go on to love translated literature for the rest of their lives!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Over the past decade we\u2019ve forged strong partnerships with schools, but these ties are being threatened. Like many other states, California is out of money. When these cuts take effect, arts-enrichment programs\u2013even ones as rigorous and clearly beneficial as Poetry Inside Out\u2013are often the first things that are eliminated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re reaching out to the community to offset these budget cuts and continue to offer Poetry Inside Out residencies in Bay Area classrooms. School program fees cover only one third of the cost of the program, and even that is uncertain for the fall.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

The $15,000 we\u2019re hoping to raise before June 18 will support 10 in-school residencies\u2013that\u2019s teachers for more than 250 Bay Area kids, who will learn to love translations, world literature, and creative writing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
