Poets, it’s your month! April is National Poetry Month worldwide, so it’s time to celebrate all the ways poetry enriches our lives. Take this month to appreciate your work, and those who inspire you. Fill the well of inspiration with a workshop. Shake up your writing routine with some new directions. Set some new poetry-writing goals — whether it be performing at an open mike, or creating your first chapbook. Spread your love of poetry a little further.

Here’s a list of 26 ways to celebrate National Poetry Month — from A-Z. Let’s make it a month to remember!
