National Poetry Month (April)

National Poetry Month

National Poetry Month has become the largest literary celebration in the world celebrating poetry’s vital place in our culture.

Discover the genius of Oregon Poet Laureates with weekly printed poems you can pick up at the Circulation Desk. Explore more of their work with poems posted on our Facebook page.

Learn about the sonnet at our PROFILES online program on Wed. April 3.

Join us on Fridays for Book Spine Poetry. We post a photo of a poem we've created using the titles on book spines, and invite you to post your own Book Spine Poems. Poetry doesn't have to be long, hard, or even rhyme!
