April is National Poetry Month! You may recognize this fact on account of Barnes & Noble moving some books of poetry (mostly anthologies and Billy Collins) closer to the front of the store.

But this is a time to try and proselytize on the value and joy of poetry, so I will be posting something everyday about poetry.

Stay tuned and, you know… consider reading some poetry

In the meantime, DC residents will find a number of poetry events through the Library of Congress and other folks may find something on the website of the Poetry Foundation.
