Poem in Your Pocket Day – Thursday, April 29

Tomorrow is Poem in Your Pocket Day! To take part, simply choose a favorite poem to carry with you throughout the day and share it with friends, classmates, colleagues, neighbors, and family.
This year, Mayor Bloomberg’s office is encouraging New Yorkers to participate in a Poetweet. Contribute your best short verse to @NYCMayorsOffice via Twitter. The rules are simple: keep it clean and under 140 characters.
Not sure what poem to select? Visit poets.org to browse by first line, title theme, or author, or check out a book from the library’s poetry book display near the staircase on the 4th floor.

April is the cruellest month . . .*

. . . at least it may seem like it for those scrambling to file federal and state taxes today, April 15. Yet April is National Poetry Month, and may be the kindest month for fans of the spoken word. There are many ways to keep up with poetry readings and events in and around New York. The Ultimate NYC Poetry Calendar lists events every night of the week throughout the year in all 5 boroughs, and New York City’s Poem in Your Pocket Project has a list of events throughout April. You can also follow PoetryNYC on Twitter for a continuous update on poetry readings, book launches, author appearances, and other poetry-related happenings.
*This famous phrase is the first line of T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land. Read the rest of the poem here.
