National Poetry Month, April 2021 Anonymous (not verified) Thu, 04/15/2021 - 09:47

In recognition of National Poetry Month, the largest literary celebration in the world, the Center for Humanities & the Arts (CHA) has put together a "Poem of the Day" project highlighting a new poet every day on our Twitter page.

Our intentions with this project are to share a new poet and poem every day, spotlighting CU Boulder faculty, students, and alumni and their work as frequently as possible. We aim create connections with the Boulder community and beyond through poetry.

Below, you can find an archive of the poems shared each day in April 2021.
