April (The Month of Poetry)

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.
