Young People's Poetry Week 10-16 April

Young People's Poetry Week is your chance to encourage people to celebrate poetry—read it, enjoy it, write it—in their homes, childcare centers, classrooms, libraries, and bookstores. During the third week of April, the Children's Book Council, in collaboration with the American Academy of Poets (sponsor of National Poetry Month) and the Center for the Book in the Library of Congress, sponsors Young People's Poetry Week. You can get 2006 YPPW materials, find a list of ways of Celebrating YPPW, follow links to New poetry for young people, read Articles on sharing poetry and see ways of Promoting YPPW tags: poetry communication
