April is national poetry month, and there are many ways to celebrate! Put a poem in your pocket on April 18, come in to the library to browse our extensive poetry section, or head to Twitter where there are several organizations discussing and celebrating poetry all month long.
NPR’s Tell Me More is running a poetry series, Muses and Metaphor, featuring poetry that has been shared on Twitter. To participate, post your original poetry on
Twitter using the hashtag #TMMPoetry. Read more about this and see past examples at NPR.
The Atlantic runs a Twitter bookclub, and because
April is poetry month, they are reading The Ecco Anthology of International
Poetry. Follow this conversation at
@1book140 or join in using the hashtag #1book140.
For more information about Poem in Your Pocket Day, check out poets.org run by the Academy of American Poets. On April 18th, share the poem in your pocket on Twitter using the hastag #pocketpoem
