Celebrate Poem In Your Pocket Day on Thu., Apr. 14, 2011! The idea is simple: select a poem you love during National Poetry Month then carry it with you to share with co-workers, family, and friends. In this age of mechanical and digital reproduction, it's easy to carry and share a poem. Poems from pockets will be unfolded throughout the day with events in parks, libraries, schools, workplaces, and bookstores.How can you you get involved?

Thanks to the library for supporting "Poem in Your Pocket Day". After alternately ignoring then hating poetry for my entire life (57 years), I subscribed last year to Poem A Day and I have been hooked on this wonderful art form ever since. I have even written a couple of terrible poems with the enthusiasm of the newly converted.
I simply had never imagined the range of topics, the insight into all facets of life and the beauty that poems contained at heart.
Thanks for converting me.
