It’s National Poetry Month 2009!

It is that most wonderful time of year:  National Poetry Month!   What’s the 411 on National Poetry Month?  Here is the scoop from the Academy of American Poets:

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.

Let’s begin the celebration by sharing one of our favorite resources:  Poem a Day!  You can click here to sign up for a daily dose of poetry in your inbox to nurture your inner muse.
