Poem In Your Pocket, Selected by Elaine Bleakney

April 09, 2014 2:00 pm • Last Updated: April 09, 2014 2:05 pm

April is National Poetry Month. Thanks to these reader-friendly 200 tear-a-way pages, I can take inspiration with me! The Academy of American Poets, founders of Poem in Your Pocket Day (April 18), offers an assortment of poems from Walt Whitman to Kay Ryan with a tête-à-tête quality, which is partly what makes poetry one of the most beloved art forms. We have the kid’s edition, too.
