April is National Poetry Month

Into rhyming couplets? Free verse? Limericks? Whatever your poetic passion, April is your month and the nice people at Knopf Doubleday want you to know they’re giving their best stuff away. One poem at a time, one day at a time. You’ll find a brief video and a little box where you can enter your e-mail address to sign-up for their Poem-A-Day give away.

After you sign up, you’ll start receiving some real gems from some of the world's best poets every morning. I signed up a short while ago, and this week alone I received little nuggets of gold by Cynthia Zarin, Leonard Cohen, and Marge Piercy.

Now, if that’s not a good way to wake up every day, I don’t know what is.
