Happy National Poetry Month!

April is National Poetry Month. That's right...30 days set aside for people everywhere to read, write, and just plain enjoy poetry. There's a lot going on in the next month.

GottaBook and Brimful Curiousities have the scoop.

Poetry Books I've enjoyed recently (reviews pending):

• A Curious Collection of Cats by Betsy Franco
• African Acrostics by Avis Harley
• Falling Down the Page collected by Georgia Heard
• Sky Magic selected by Lee Bennett Hopkins
• My Hippo Has the Hiccups by Kenn Nesbitt
• The Cuckoo's Haiku by Michael J. Rosen
• A Whiff of Pine, A Hint of Skunk: A Forest of Poems by Deborah Ruddell
• Red Sings from the Tree Tops by Joyce Sidman
• Steady Hands by Tracie Vaughn Zimmer

Here's wishing you a wonderful National Poetry Month 2010!
