"Inaugurated by the Academy of American Poets in 1996, National Poetry Month is now held every April, when publishers, booksellers, literary organizations, libraries, schools and poets around the country band together to celebrate poetry and its vital place in American culture. Thousands of businesses and non-profit organizations participate through readings, festivals, book displays, workshops, and other events."
In celebration of poetry month, you will search for a poem/poet that you may find interesting. Make sure to stay on this page (poets. org) and that you not only post your poem, but speak about the poet as well as provide insight about the poem you chose. You will be sharing it with the class. Feel free to explore the site and the interesting things that they offer you.
