Celebrate Poetry
Staff -- School Library Journal, 3/1/2002
National Poetry Month in April will honor the 100th anniversary of the birth of Langston Hughes. A poster commemorating the distinguished African-American poet is available free of charge from the American Academy of Poets. To order, visit www.poets.org/npm/KitOrder.cfm. Also, check out the works of the 2001–2002 U.S. Poet Laureate, Billy Collins, whose Poetry 180 Web site (www.loc.gov/poetry/180) was created to offer high school students a poem a day throughout the school year.
