April is National Poetry Month
And in April of 2008, I was honored to be listed among such accomplished poets, by APOOO Book Club/Book Reviewers. I found this still lurking in the long forgotten archives of my old blog (of the same name). Just wanted to share. And by all means, let's have some poetry, shall we?
National Poetry Month
Well I had to return to say something on behalf of Poetry Month. This is a
special time of recognition, although poetry is a day to day thing with me. So
I'm encouraging folks to venture out into the byways, find an open mic event,
support a spoken word endeavor - or go to the library, get online and read some
of the classic works by E.E. Cummings, T.S. Eliot, Elizabeth Barrett
Browning...or more contemporary works by James Wright, Pablo Neruda...or poems
by Black poets...Cullen, Hughes, Shange, Giovanni, Sanchez and so many
more!
