April is National Poetry Month. The Academy of American Poets, celebrates its 80th anniversary this year by revamping their website.
In 2011, Samantha Reynolds started Bentlily, a site where she documents her goal to write one poem-a-day.
I pledged to write one poem a day. Not to rack up reams of poetry — that was just a lovely side effect. No, the real goal was to train me to see the world constantly with the eyes of a poet, which means to slow down, savour, take delight in, and note the very essence of the world around me.
Poets.org has a poem-a-day for the entire month of April.
Robert Lee Brewer explores what poetry means to him in Writer’s Digest.
