There are six weeks left to participate in Dear Poet!

The deadline to submit to Dear Poet is six weeks away!

Every National Poetry Month, we present Dear Poet, a multimedia project that invites young people in grades five through twelve to write letters in response to poems written and read by award-winning poets. Students may choose from nine videos, write letters to the poet in response to their poem, and submit their letters by April 22. 

Students can submit their letters using this form, or teachers can submit their students’ letters using this form. 

Teachers can also use Spark lesson plans on voice and exploring connections from 826 National. More information and resources can be found on Poets.org.
