National Poetry Month


National Poetry Month is a month-long celebration of poetry that takes place every April. The event was established in 1996 by the Academy of American Poets and is now observed by millions of people around the world. During this time, poetry is honored and celebrated through various events and activities, including readings, workshops, performances, and poetry-themed social media campaigns. The aim of National Poetry Month is to increase the visibility and appreciation of poetry in our culture, to celebrate the art form and its importance in our lives, and to inspire and encourage new generations of poets and poetry lovers. Whether you are a seasoned poetry enthusiast or a newcomer to the world of verse, National Poetry Month is a great opportunity to explore the richness and diversity of the poetic tradition and to connect with fellow poetry lovers.

We invite you to celebrate and connect with fellow poetry lovers, and to deepen your appreciation for the beauty and power of language.
