American National Poetry Month


This came to me while I was pottering around this afternoon and I want to share it with you:
Inaugurated by the Academy of American Poets in 1996, National Poetry Month is held every April, when publishers, booksellers, literary organizations, libraries, schools and poets band together to celebrate poetry and its vital place in American culture. Thousands of businesses and non-profit organizations participate through readings, festivals, book displays, workshops, and other events.
One of America´s great poets, and my favourite, is Walt Whitman
Listen and complete the text to know more about him.
