About Poem Flow via kwout

As many of you know, we are HUGE poetry fans at The Unquiet Library!  National Poetry Month is only six weeks away, so why not get pumped off for the celebrations by getting the free Poem Flow app for your iPod or iPhone?

The iTunes store  highlights these features on their app preview page for Poem Flow:

Poem Flow puts a poem-of-the-day in the palm of your hand. Each day a new poem happens. When you turn a poem on its side, the text flows in a gentle reading animation. Poem Flow introduces you to poems you haven’t met, and lets you see (and share) old poems anew.

Experience a Poem Flow at:

Features:

• Text converts to animation with the turn of your hand.
• Motion + Text + Light = a movie that you watch to read.
• You get a new poem every day from a mix of the greatest poems in English.

Fill Your Pockets with Poems: Clothesline Full of Poetry!

Poem in Your Pocket Day 2009 is almost here!  What is Poem in Your Pocket Day?

The idea is simple: select a poem you love during National Poetry Month then carry it with you to share with co-workers, family, and friends on April 30, 2009. Poems from pockets will be unfolded throughout the day with events in parks, libraries, schools, workplaces, and bookstores.

We will be celebrating in The Unquiet Library with poetry readings and free poems for everyone!  Today we hung the first clothesline of poetry—check out the slideshow above.  More clotheslines full of poems for your pockets are coming next week—stay tuned!  Many thanks to Mr. Jason Hubbard for helping me hang the clothesline since I am vertically challenged!

Many thanks to Kenyon College for the idea and for letting me borrow it!
