Press Release:

The Academy of American Poets inaugurated National Poetry Month in April 1996 as a month-long, national celebration of poetry, whose goals include highlighting our poetic heritage and introducing more Americans to the pleasures of reading poetry.

To celebrate National Poetry Month this April, we are now accepting submissions of Poets on Poets for our April 2009 issue. Check out April 2008 in the archive section of Quill and Parchment to see what we are looking for.
