April is National Poetry Month. As you plan ahead, here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Browse selections of poetry lesson plans curated around themes, occasions, class subjects, and more.
   
• Find themed collections of poetry for teens and poetry for kids.
   
• Learn more about the programs and events happening in celebration of National Poetry Month below:

From March through May 2023 the Poetry Coalition, an alliance of more than twenty-five independent poetry organizations across the United States, will explore the theme “and so much lost      you’d think / beauty had left a lesson: Poetry & Grief” in a series of virtual and in-person programs. The line “and so much lost      you’d think / beauty had left a lesson” is from Ed Roberson’s poem “once the magnolia has blossomed.”
