National Poetry Month


I absolutely LOVE National Poetry Month, and couldn't wait to celebrate it here, on my blog dedicated to word nerdery. National Poetry Month was started in 1996 by the Academy of American Poets, and has been celebrated every April since. Activities have included poetry readings, open mic events, the "Favorite Poem Project", the "Poem in Your Pocket" Day, and bloggers sharing their favorites. The goals of National Poetry Month, as stated by the Academy can be seen here (along with further information about NPM): poets.org.

I will be posting daily poems here, and hope you will enjoy!
