April is Poetry Month. We are celebrating at the library:
FAVORITE POEM NIGHT

Bring a favorite poem or two to share... your own or someone else's.
Feel shy? then come to listen appreciate. Poetry thrives with an audience.
POST A POEM TO FRONT PORCH FORUM your own or someone else's. (make sure to give the poet credit!)
COME INTO THE LIBRARY and CHECK OUT A BOOK OF POEMS to read at bedtime (children's adults too).
"Poetry connects us with our deep roots. Our evolution as an animal that created rhythmic language as a means of transmitting vital information across the generations. We need to communicate not only with our peers but our ancestors and descendants, and the arts of poetry, writing, print, and digital media serve that communication. As the oldest of those arts, poetry in a deep-going way calls upon the very nature of human society, our interdependence upon one another not only in space but in time. We need the comfort and stimulation that this vital part of us gets from the ancient art.", ---Robert Pinsky, poet
