Many businesses, organizations, schools, and libraries participate in National Poetry Month with readings, festivals, book displays, workshops, and more.
This year, April 17th, 2008 is designated as the first national Poem In Your Pocket Day. Select a poem you like and carry it with you to share with friends and family.
Though poetry should be appreciated year-round, April is a special time to celebrate poetry. Make sure it plays an important part in your classroom!
