For twenty years, Read A Little Poetry has remained free and ad-free—a living archive built from the ground up with love, time, and care. It’s become my personal devotional practice to support independent poetry: to make space for it, to keep it visible, to let it be found.

This space exists because of you. Whether you found it during a lonely morning, a deep heartbreak, or a restless night—whether you’ve sent a poem to a friend, printed one for your class, or returned here just to feel something—your presence matters.

And to everyone who has supported this archive through donations or ongoing subscriptions: thank you. You’ve helped keep the lights on. You’ve helped make sure these poems don’t disappear.

Your generosity sustains not only this site, but the belief that poetry deserves to be findable, shared, and remembered.

Those who have a substantial amount to provide the foundation that allows me to plan ahead—to expand, protect, and sustain this archive for the long haul.

Your extraordinary gift changes what’s possible.

If you’ve previously donated and don’t see your name here—or if you’d like to remain anonymous—please reach out. You can also let me know if you’d like your gift to be in honour of someone and I’ll add it here. Send an email at t[at]readalittlepoetry.com.

Your continued readership has been a balm to my soul and one of my truest anchors. I want to keep on doing this—and so I am asking, with gentleness and most of all, love—if you can support Read A Little Poetry by donating via Ko-fi.

Thank you for keeping this archive alive.

Yours,
T. De Los Reyes
Founder, Read A Little Poetry

Ko-fi does not process the payment and won’t take a cut out of your donation. It all goes directly to me via PayPal (which might show you the name of my studio). You can support me as a guest (no need to create an account, though you might not be able to see future updates from me on the platform). Any information you provide me will be kept confidential—I only ask that you do the same for me.
