Established in 1996 by the Academy of American Poets, National Poetry Month is an annual celebration held every April. Its primary objective is to elevate awareness and cultivate appreciation for poetry across the United States. The Academy of American Poets' website, Poets.org, serves as a central hub for details regarding local poetry events throughout the month. Additionally, the organization furnishes free educational resources to aid teachers in orchestrating classroom celebrations and activities, along with commissioning an annual festival poster.
