Gosh! It's April already! The "cruellest month" if you believe Eliot. I'm rather more positive than ol' T.S. and am hoping that Spring is springing beautifully wherever you are, I noticed some lovely snowdrops yesterday and felt very light and bright and full of seasonal joys :)
Did you know that this April is National Poetry Month? Well, in the US and Canada at least, and I'm thinking it should definitely extend to the blogosphere, I'm all for poetry-sans-frontiers. So, in honour of National Poetry Month I'm planning a month-long poetry party at The Portmanteau with posts including:
- a poem a day: an eclectic bunch of handpicked classic and contemporary favourites, available here and on my Tumblr blog
- audio goodness: downloadble mp3 audio recordings of poets reading their poetry
- poet profiles & interviews: sampling 30 contemporary poets from across the globe
Phew! I'm nothing if not ambitious. I want to get into the routine of blogging regularly and thought this would be a great way to kick-start The Portmanteau - we'll see how it goes... I hope you'll join me for a month of poetical adventures!
