NV Poetry Month / Last Chance to Spit Rhymes This Year
We have two more poetry related events going on this last week of our own take on National Poetry Month. Monday (today) is Poem in Your Pocket Day. Grab a poem, read it, share it with your students, especially if you like it. Friday is our Coffeehouse Open Mic. Everyone is encouraged to share their own song or poem or one by someone else. Would that be a cover poem? Event information and signup, and suggested class activities are on our poetry month site.
