April is National Poetry Month

Our National Poetry Month celebration this year will culminate with the observance of Poem in your Pocket Day on the 29th. 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 on the 29th of April. Poems from pockets will be unfolded throughout the day with events in parks, libraries, schools, workplaces, and bookstores.
