It’s National Poetry Month, and some folks at UWEC are celebrating in style. Melissa Girard’s UWEC class is teaming up with Robin Miller at the UWEC library to reveal a poem a day for the 16th annual National Poetry Month this April. Students in Girard’s Topics in American Literature class (English 348) are selecting different poems to be featured on the library blog every weekday this April. The poems will be accompanied by a few words from the student who chose that day’s poem. Today's poem, selected by student Mary Gillis, is "Dreams," by Langston Hughes.

In addition to the library blog, the class also has facebook and twitter pages to celebrate and promote National Poetry Month.

For more ideas on celebrating National Poetry Month, check out this awesome list on the National Poetry Month’s website. Some ideas include taking a poem to lunch, putting a poem on the pavement, buying a book of poems for your library, writing a letter to a poet, watching a poetry movie, and visiting a poetry landmark.
