A creative graphic on a white background announces that "April is National Poetry Month." The design features a black pencil in the lower-left corner with a flurry of black letters and characters flowing out from its tip like smoke. The word "Poetry" is integrated into this swirling cloud of letters in a larger, bold font, while the rest of the text is written in a clean, black serif typeface above and below the illustration.

April is National Poetry Month, a time to celebrate the power of words and the rhythm of the human experience. Whether it’s a classic sonnet, a modern spoken-word piece, or a simple haiku, poetry allows us to express the complex emotions that everyday language sometimes misses. This month, we invite you to pick up a book, share a favorite verse, or even try your hand at writing a few lines of your own—after all, there is a poet in everyone!
