Three Days Until National/Global Poetry Month Begins!

Hello, poetry fans! We’re just three days out from April 1, and the beginning of National/Global Poetry Writing Month. We assume you’ve been spending March deep within your poetry caverns, meditating on metaphors, and clearing your minds of attachments to non-metrical things. (Actually, we don’t assume that at all – we’re just glad you’re here!)

As we wait out the maddeningly long month of March, why not check out these images of “spine poems”? As the phrase implies, these are poems made up out of stacked book titles, visible in the books’ spines. If you’re feeling creative, you could get a jump-start on your poetic output by trying to put together a spine poem of your own.

We’ll be back tomorrow with another resource, and then on March 31 with an early-bird prompt.
