April 11: Poem In Your Pocket Day

|

April 11 is Poem In Your Pocket Day. The New York Times has been running a series of ads to promote national poetry month. The ads suggest that you keep a poem with you on Friday, April 11th, and share it with others throughout the day.

While looking through our bookshelves for something to read, I came across a wonderful book called Committed to Memory: 100 Best Poems to Memorize. It's full of poems that beg to be read aloud. I think I'll find a poem from this book for my pocket.

(Thanks to Dan Lobby for posting the NYT ad on his door.)
