National Poetry Month
Did you know that April is National Poetry Month? (And, no, it has nothing to do with Taylor Swift’s latest album. Though you can borrow The Tortured Poets Department on hoopla with your library card!)
The theme for National Poetry Month this year is weather and we all know Canada has a lot of weather! We’ve rounded up a big list of titles by Canadian poets for you to check out the next time you’re in the mood for some poetry.
