April is National Poetry Month, sponsored by the Academy of American Poets. It’s a great month to share poetry and to #ShareBookjoy!

The Best American Poetry 2017 blog shared Pat’s poem Metamórfosis as part of a partnership between the blog and Letras Latinas, the literary initiative at the University of Notre Dame’s Institute for Latino Studies (ILS).

At No Water River: The Children’s Poetry Place, poet Renee LaTulippe is posting a poem/prompt daily from a different poet and inviting readers to write a poem on that particular theme. She is sharing Pat’s poem “One Blue Door” on April 6!

Have you heard about Poetry Boxes? Similar to the Little Free Libraries, they help share poetry in unexpected places! Here are two young poets in Tucson investigating a Poetry Mailbox–and one of them sat down and wrote a poem on the spot to contribute.
