Celebrate National Poetry Month

National Poetry Month starts tomorrow, April 1. How will you celebrate? Here are a few ways I’m celebrating:

• Read a poem a day. Subscribe to the Academy of American Poets poem-a-day newsletter.

• Write a poem. MasterClass offers 11 Rules for Writing Good Poetry.

• Take part in a poetry month challenge. My favorite is the Writer’s Digest PAD Challenge.

• Support a poet and an independent bookstore by buying a collection of poetry from an independent bookstore. Check out BookShop.

• Read the work of a poet or poetry form that’s new to you. The Poetry Foundation is a great place to explore poets and poetry.

• Share a poem. This could be a favorite poem or one you’ve written. Five ways to share poetry with the world.

Here are 30 more ways to celebrate National Poetry Month.

Here’s to a happy, creative National Poetry Month!
