Program Description

Event Details

Poem in Your Pocket Day was initiated in 2002 and takes place during National Poetry Month in April. This year it falls on April 29. Have you ever tucked a poem that you’ve read into your pocket or purse that had special meaning for you, or a poem you wanted to show to a friend? Was it one you wanted to memorize, or perhaps a poem you didn’t completely understand and wanted to read again later? If not, you can choose a poem by an established writer (not a poem that you have written) that you would like to find in your pocket that you would like to share. Each attendee will bring along a poem to read for the group and then we’ll discuss them.
