Poem in Your Pocket Day: April 24th
One way to celebrate National Poetry Month
is to take part in the annual Poem in Your
Pocket Day. On April 24th, choose a poem,
carry it in your pocket, and share it with
others. PiYPD provides a great opportunity to
talk about a poem that has particular
meaning to your life! **As PiYPD falls over April
vacation, WRHS will celebrate PiYPD Friday, April 18th.
History: The first Poem in Your Pocket Day was celebrated in
2002 in New York City, in partnership between the Office of the
Mayor and the New York City Departments of Cultural Affairs
and Education. In 2008, The Academy of American Poets took
the idea and turned it into a national day of celebration.
