From Jennifer Benka: "The Academy of American Poets was pleased to assist in curating this special celebration for National Poetry Month, an occasion our organization launched 25 years ago to recognize the important contributions poets make to culture, and to envisioning a more just country. It is in poetry that we encounter the insights and experiences of others and are called to compassion."
The digital exhibit features 20 poets over 10 poems to celebrate the 25th consecutive National Poetry Month. Includes links of videos of poets reading poetry that they feel helps them make sense of what we're going through today - violence, pandemic, BLM and more.
