National Poetry Month

April is National Poetry Month, as founded by the Academy of American Poets in 1996. From the Academy's website:  

National Poetry Month is the largest literary celebration in the world, with tens of millions of readers, students, K-12 teachers, librarians, booksellers, literary events curators, publishers, bloggers, and, of course, poets marking poetry’s important place in our culture and our lives. 

Kimbel Library is holding a Poetry in the Park event on April 17 in celebration of National Library Week and National Poetry Month. Further details to come.
