Poetry Month Quotes

“Sometimes I feel like I belong in another century when I write poetry...”
― Nanette L. Avery

“April is Poetry Month, the Academy of American Poets tells us. In 2013 there were 7,427 poetry readings in April, many on a Thursday. For anyone born in 1928 who pays attention to poetry, the numerousness is astonishing. In April of 1948, there were 15 readings in the United States, 12 by Robert Frost.

So I claim. The figures are imaginary, but you get the point.”
― Donald Hall, Essays After Eighty
