National Poetry Month was inaugurated by the Academy of American Poets in 1996. Over the years, it has become the largest literary celebration in the world with schools, publishers, libraries, booksellers, and poets celebrating poetry’s vital place in our culture.
Each week, we’ll reveal our poet and poem of the week starting on April 1! National Poetry Month content will be available on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, so follow along on your favorite platform.
We kick off National Poetry Month with a 2024 individual artist fellow in the field of poetry. Joyce Enzor Maust reads her poem, ’Stitches of Silence and Strength,’ 2024.
The Twin Poets (Delaware’s Poets Laureate), with composer Mark Hagerty, conductor, and soloists, discuss the making of United Sounds of America, a collaboration that places urban poetry on the concert stage. Learn more about this project here: https://www.twinpoetsusa.com/
