APRIL IS NATIONAL POETRY MONTH - Celebrate!

Ten years ago, Knopf publisers began a tradition. To celebrate National Poetry Month, they sent a poem a day by e-mail for 30 days to anyone who asked to receive them. Now, with over 35,000 subscribers, they are proud to continue with a whole new series of daily poems. Each day during the month of April you would receive a poem from some of the best poets in the world including Mark Strand, Mary Jo Salter, Julia Hartwig, and Richard Kenney, as well as classics from Frank O'Hara, Rudyard Kipling, Kenneth Koch and more. This year, they'll also be featuring special podcasts, gorgeous printable broadsides, and signed books.
