As part of national poetry month, today is national Poem In Your Pocket Day!
The idea is simple: select a poem you love and carry it with you to share with co-workers, family, and friends. You can even attend a Poem In Your Pocket Day reading–look here for events near you. And if you’re looking for a new poem to share, we can help!
This fall, Hub City Press will publish Waking, by Ron Rash, and Home Is Where: An Anthology of African American Poetry from the Carolinas, edited by Kwame Dawes. Both sets of poems will be published in October, but they’re available for preorder now. Enjoy!
