Jake Gyllenhaal, Mario Batali, Rose Styron, National Student Poet Claire Lee, and other leading artists, scholars, and public figures will come together on one stage on April 17, 2013 at 6:30pm for an extraordinary evening celebrating the role of contemporary poetry in American culture. 

Poetry & the Creative Mind helps raise critical funds for the Academy's annual programs, including National Poetry Month. Tickets for the 11th annual Poetry & the Creative Mind at Lincoln Center are now available through the Lincoln Center box office. 
 
At this year's AWP Conference in Boston, the Academy of American Poets will present a reading by acclaimed poets Lucie Brock-Broido and Anne Carson. 
 
The reading will take place on Saturday, March 9 at 8:30pm in the Hynes
Convention Center Ballroom.
 
Stop by the Academy's booth #506 at AWP for more information. 

 

Inspired by Letters to a Young Poet, the collection of Rainer Maria Rilke's written exchange with an aspiring poet, this April, we are inviting students to engage with poetry by handwriting letters to the acclaimed poets who serve on the Academy's Board of Chancellors.

To help teachers involve their classes, we are happy to present a version of the Dear Poet project for grades 7-11 that has been prepared by a curriculum specialist and aligns with Common Core standards. 
 

The Academy of American Poets originated National Poetry Month in April 1996 and each year makes free resources available to help you celebrate poetry in your community.

Request your free copy of the 2013 National Poetry Month poster now! Orders placed after February are not guaranteed to arrive by April.

You can also promote your events and download the official National Poetry Month logo by visiting the National Poetry Month homepage.
The Academy of American Poets thanks the organizations that help make National Poetry Month possible: 
American Booksellers Association, American Library Association, National Council of Teachers of English, National Endowment for the Arts, The New York Times, EBSCO,
Poetry Foundation, and more!
