Subject: NBP-Announce: GENERAL: Celebrate National Poetry Month!


> April is national poetry month!  Established by the Academy of American
> Poets in 1996, National Poetry Month celebrates poetry and its vital
> place in American culture.  Join in the fun - National Braille Press has
> reprinted two braille books of poetry:
>
> Shel Silverstein's "Where the Sidewalk Ends"
> http://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/SIDEWALK.html
>
> and Caroline Kennedy's "A Family of Poems:  My Favorite Poetry for
> Children"
> http://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/KENNEDY.html
>
> To hear audio versions of poets reciting a specially selected poem in
> honor of poetry month, WGBH and David Grubin Productions have created
> the Poetry Everywhere website. Poetry Everywhere was designed to take a
> fresh look at poetry using a variety of production approaches.  A
> different poem will be recited each day and poetry readings will take
> place between PBS television broadcasts during the month of April.
