Celebrate National Poetry Month!

National Poetry Month was started in 1996 by the Academy of American Poets. It is now held every April and is celebrated by publishers, booksellers, literary organizations, libraries, schools and poets around the county! Visit the Library of Congress website (www.loc.gov/poetry/) for more about the celebrations on poetry this month!

Be a poet - send a tweet of YOUR original poetry (140 characters or less, of course) to #TMMPoetry. If YOUR poem is chosen, National Public Radio (NPR) will help you record it and will air it by the end of the month. Now, that's next week - so get busy!
