Free: A poem a day by e-mail every day in April
And not just any poem, mind you.
The Academy of American Poets established April as National Poetry Month to celebrate the place of poetry in American culture.
In 2001 publisher Alfred A. Knopf joined the celebration by emailing a poem to subscribers every day in April.
The list is now 18,000 members strong and growing.
How about something to read with your spam each day?
The poems will come from poets such as Jack Gilbert, Anthony Hecht, John Hollander, Mary Jo Salter, Franz Wright, and Mary Kinzie, among others.
