Poem-a-day in April: Write, Read, Etc.

Author:

So I've been going out of my way to build excitement about my write a poem-a-day challenge in April. Should be big-time fun for all.

But the Academy of American Poets has announced you can also read a poem-a-day in April. Just go to http://www.poets.org/poemaday, and enter your e-mail address.

Their newsletter claims you can expect work from poets, such as Charles Simic, James Tate, Caroline Knox, Cate Marvin, and many more.

It only took me about 5.6 seconds to sign up. Very fast. Very easy.
