Ready to take part in the second annual Poem in Your Pocket Day? Its on April 30th, 2009. The idea is to carry around a favorite poem all day and read it for co-workers, friends, waiters and waitresses, strangers at the laundry mat, basically anyone that might be interested.
To find more ideas for spreading poetry that day visit Poets. org by clicking here.
Poem In Your Pocket Day is made possible, in part, by the National Council of Teachers of English and the American Booksellers Association, and by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.
