Celebrating National Poetry Month

In 1996, the Academy of American Poets established April as National Poetry Month to increase awareness develop a widespread appreciation of the art of poetry. Since then, the month has gained popularity and has been embraced by teachers, publishers, libraries, nonprofit and government organizations, and celebrities.

Today Sampsonia Way joins the celebration of National Poetry Month by recognizing ten poets who have contributed to our pages. Watch and read their voices here.
