April is National Poetry Month, an annual event founded in 1996 by the Academy of American Poets. It is the largest literary celebration in the world, with tens of millions of readers, students, K-12 teachers, librarians, booksellers, literary events curators, publishers, bloggers, and, of course, poets marking poetry’s important place in our culture and our lives.
Nancy Goodhart, EngAGE C.A.O., sent along these photos to acknowledge the talented poets who performed at our own celebration of poetry during the recent EngAGE in Creativity party at Burbank Senior Artists Colony in Burbank, CA. Thank you, poets!
