National Poetry Month

National Poetry Month is an annual celebration in April that aims to promote the art of poetry and its significance in culture. Established in 1996 by the Academy of American Poets, it encourages individuals, schools, libraries, and organizations to engage with poetry through readings, workshops, and events. The month highlights the work of poets, raises awareness about poetry's impact, and fosters a greater appreciation for literature. By showcasing diverse voices and styles, National Poetry Month inspires creativity and invites everyone to explore the beauty and power of poetic expression.
