It’s National Poetry Month. Who couldn’t use a little more poetry in their lives? Poets.org (from the Academy of American Poets) makes it easy. Just sign up at the website to receive a poem in your email inbox every day during the month of April! Or perhaps you want a poem on the go? Access 2,500 poems formatted especially for your mobile phone and browsable by subject. Either is great preparation for the 2nd national Poem in Your Pocket Day on Thursday, April 30th —a day to share your favorite pocket-sized poem with everyone you know. Check out the Illinois page for information on Illinois poets and upcoming Illinois events, such as the Chicago Public Library Poetry Fest on Saturday, April 25th.
