The Good Life Bog The Month of Poetry Each year the month of April is set aside as National Poetry Month, a time to celebrate poets and their craft. Various events are held throughout the month by the Academy of American Poets and other poetry organizations. National Poetry Month is a registered trademark of the Academy of American Poets . Why was April chosen for National Poetry Month ? In coordination with poets , booksellers, librarians, and teachers, we chose a month when poetry could be celebrated with the highest level of participation.
