Write a Letter to a Poet for National Poetry Month

If it's April, it must be National Poetry Month, and here's a fun way to celebrate. (I know, it's not as much fun as writing chalk poems on the sidewalk outside the school, but I look forward to doing that with you when we get back!)

The Academy of American Poets is presenting Dear Poet, an event which asks you to watch videos of poets reading their work, and then write a letter to one of them in response. All letters will be considered for publication on Poets.org next month, and poets will choose some letter to respond to. All the videos and instructions can be found here.

Have fun, and stay fly, Eagles!
