Celebrating Poets’ Birthdays

We received an intriguing email last week from Andy in Michigan: “I am interested in finding the birthdays of contemporary poets. I meet with a group of people interested in poetry. We read poetry by poets whose birthday it is. It’s easy to find the birthdays of poets who have died, but the birthdays of the poets who are still alive are not always so easy to find.”

What a great idea! Birthday Readings for all your favorite poets! Visit Andy’s Birthdays of Poets blog to see all the poet birthdays he has already identified & to read about how to set up a Birthday Readings series in your town. And help him find more birthdays by posting your favorite poet’s birth date in our Forum: Poets’ Birthdays.
