April is National Poetry Month The Academy of American Poets in April 1996 launched National Poetry Month. It is a special occasion that celebrates poets’ integral role in our culture and that poetry matters. Over the years, it has become the largest literary celebration in the world, with tens of millions of readers, students, K–12 teachers, librarians, booksellers, literary events curators, publishers, families, and—of course—poets, marking poetry’s important place in our lives. Poem in Your Pocket Day was started in 2002 in New York City as part of the city’s National Poetry Month celebration. Then in 2008, the Academy of American Poets made the initiative national, encouraging individuals across the country to join in. We will celebrate poetry by creating pocket poems and displaying them in the hallway for all the enjoy. All month long there will be different events in the library as well. For links to a selection of poetry sites check out the Poetry Page on the library blog. Take some time and savor a poem for yourself. Poem in Your Pocket Day April 29th Every April, on Poem in Your Pocket Day, people celebrate by selecting a poem, carrying it with them, and sharing it with others throughout the day at schools, bookstores, libraries, parks, workplaces, and on Twitter using the hashtag #pocketpoem. We'll be sharing as well. Magnetic Poetry will be at lunch in the library during the week of April 22nd to 26th. What's magnetic poetry? Well it's: individual words—often related to a particular theme or topic—printed on small magnets which can be creatively arranged into poetry on a metal surface.
