April 1st marks the beginning of
National Poetry Month and I want you to restrain yourself from dashing around
trying to find a single book or anthology of poetry where you call home. If you
do have one, it likely is something you brought home from college or an older
relative gave you as a birthday gift. Poetry does not line our bookshelves and
plays virtually no role in our lives these days unless you are older and
developed a liking for it in your youth.
