Countdown to National POETRY Month

posted Wednesday, 18 March 2009

April is National Poetry Month. The Academy of American Poets has a great program where they email a poem every morning during the month to your inbox. AND it is completely free and easy to subscribe. The poems are selected from new books published this spring, and since I'm someone who normally doesn't read much poetry, everything is always new to me. I admit that I don't understand or even like every single poem but I always am impressed and excited by the variety, and each morning I feel like I am receiving a special little surprise gift. I have subscribed for the last few years and I love it!

I highly recommend signing up now so you are all ready and set to receive your first poem on April 1st.

Here is the link for Poem-A-Day , and take a look around the website while you are at it!

I signed up, and now I'm looking forward to receiving my first April poem. It's such a great idea. Thanks for the tip.
