Poet Behind the Poetry: our Poetry Month blog series

In honor of National Poetry Month, we always want to do something a little different to celebrate.

Last year, it was Poem in Your Pocket.  This year, we wanted to look behind the poetry and hear from poets on the realities of what a creative life really means.

So we reached out to our community of writers and asked them to write something answering one of the following prompts:

• I wish the world knew this about poets…
• In order to write, I must have…
• Being a poet is like…
• I know a poem is finished when…
• The first time I saw a poem of mine in print…
• Why don’t poets talk more about…

The results will be shared in our new blog series, The Poet Behind the Poetry, throughout the month.

So stay tuned.  And Happy Poetry Month!
