April is National Poetry Month. Perhaps that’s because in spring creativity spurts with the buds, or maybe it’s about young men’s fancies, or maybe it was the only month left. In any case, it’s an opportunity to read again, share with others, seek new works. Ruth Stone. Wordsworth. Billy Collins. Shakespeare. Taylor Mali. Maya Angelou. Dr. Suess. Langston Hughes. Robert Frost. Seek a poem. Read it. Read it again. Read it aloud. Read it aloud to someone. Feel the rhythm, see the images, hear the sounds of the words making new meaning in new ways.
