National Poetry Month

National Poetry Month was initiated in 1996 by the Academy of American Poets. Since then it has arguably become the largest literary celebrations in the world. This celebration is a reminder of poetry’s vital place in our culture.

Pacifica Radio Network reached out to community radio stations within Pacifica Network, asking for poetry they had recorded and aired locally. This episode of Sprouts presents a sampling of the poetry that was sent to us.
