Launched by the Academy of American Poets in April 1996, National Poetry Month reminds the public that poets have an integral role to play in our culture and that poetry matters. April 2021 marks the 25th Anniversary of this celebration! More info at: https://poets.org/national-poetry-month.
The 2021 poster was designed by twelfth grader Bao Lu from Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn, New York, and incorporates a line from "For Keeps" by Joy Harjo.
