\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319100494727701650\"<\/a>There are so many great online events going on for National Poetry Month<\/a> this year that I had to share some of them here–our fellow bloggers have been busy, and you won’t want to miss checking out their efforts to get the word out.<\/p>\n

Firstly, kidlitosphere icon and blog-cataloger extraordinaire Anastasia Suen<\/a> has started a new blog for kids’ poems in honor of National Poetry Month, called Pencil Talk<\/a>. So go find any K-12 poets you might know and encourage them to submit their work this month!<\/p>\n

Tricia at The Miss Rumphius Effect has compiled a great list of literary events in April<\/a>, so go check that out–and be sure to keep checking her blog in April, because a little bird told me that she’s got something extra-special planned for this year’s National Poetry Month!! And that’s all I’m allowed to say about it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Greg at GottaBook, one of our favorite resident poets, has also been hard at work planning 30 Poets in 30 Days<\/a>, his first-annual celebration of children’s poetry featuring a new previously unpublished poem by a different poet each day of April. Nikki Giovanni? Check. Jane Yolen? Check. Jon Scieszka? Check. AND MORE!! You can even follow along on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Over at Just One More Book!!, Mark and Andrea have put together an excellent booklist of 66 favorite poetry\/rhyming books<\/a>, complete with links to their fabulous podcasts. <\/p>\n

Last but not least, want to try out your own hand at some poetry this month? Robert Lee Brewer, editor of Writer’s Market<\/a>, invites you to participate in his Poem-A-Day Challenge on his Poetic Asides blog<\/a>. And of course there’s always Poetry Friday<\/a>. So go to it! Riff on a rhyme, slip into a sonnet, or whatever suits you best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
