This week we will look at ways to continue celebrating Poetry
beyond April's Poetry Month!
"Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words."
~ Robert Frost
"Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance."
~ Carl Sandburg
"Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood."
~ T. S. Eliot
"Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility."
~ William Wordsworth

National Poetry Month was launched by the Academy of American Poets in April 1996. Over the years, it has become the largest literary celebration in the world. Tens of millions of readers, students (Kâ12), teachers, librarians, booksellers, literary events curators, publishers, families, andâof courseâpoets, marking poetryâs important place in our lives.
With something THIS momentous, it seems we should be celebrating poetry every day, right? This week, as Poetry Month winds down, we will cover a few ways to keep the love alive!
Support fellow WdC poets!
WdC is fortunate to have so many wonderful poets. Each and every poet have their own style and voice.
