National Poetry Month in the USA -- links to get you started

If you live in the U.S., April is National Poetry Month! (And if you don't, it's still National Poetry Month here in the States, so feel free to join in. Please.)

Here are a few links to get you started:

What the heck is National Poetry Month, anyhow?

https://www.poets.org/national-poetry-month/home

How can I read more poetry in my Inbox, for free?

Poem-A-Day

https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem-day

Knopf Poetry Poem a Day

http://knopfdoubleday.com/knopf-poetry-signup/

(this one only officially runs through April, though poems sometimes show up at other times)

Rattle

https://www.rattle.com/

(there's a drop-down menu with a link to subscribe -- good online / print poetry magazine)


Poetry Daily

http://poems.com/about_newsletter.php

(for now, this will get you signed up for a weekly newsletter with poem links -- but soon, there will be a daily poem offered as well)


Sad confession: I subscribe to all of these. And no, I don't always get every one read every day -- but it's wonderful to have something I actually look forward to in my Inbox.

I'll be posting again this month with more links / poem sources, for both haiku & speculative poetry. Poem on!
