April is National Poetry Month!

National Poetry Month was officially introduced in 1996 and is organized by the Academy of American Poets as a way to increase awareness and appreciation of poetry in the United States. The Academy of American Poets' website Poets.org serves as a hub for information about local poetry events during the month.

The poetry selections displayed in this case are from the State Library’s A.S. Salley and Rare Book Collections.
