Links For National Poetry Month
Here are some links specifically for National Poetry Month:
- NAPOWRIMO: write a poem a day. Looks like a bunch of people are already participating.
- University of Arkansas Press is having a sale on poetry books. Buy 1 Get 1 Free + Free Shipping. I liked The Burning World - Poems by Robert Gibb and Fire Baton - Poems by Elizabeth Hadaway so why not try them?
- The Academy of American Poets Poem A Day. Sign up and get a poem in your email inbox. And this is their National Poetry Month site. I thought their April Fool’s email parody of March Madness was cute.
- The Dead Mule has Poems on the Odds for National Poetry Month.
- Knopf also has a poem-a-day email, which has been including a link to a PDF broadside download too. You can sign up here.
- PBS and the Poetry Foundation have a multimedia site at pbs.org/wgbh/poetryeverywhere/
with videos / poetry
Finally, to paraphrase Chris Rock, you know you’re in trouble when they give you a “month.”

Thanks for posting all these links! I remember signing up for a bunch of poem-a-day things last year, but couldn’t remember which sites.
