Perhaps it's due to Amanda Gorman's wildly popular Inaugural poem, perhaps it's because people are seeking meaning and beauty during the pandemic... but, whatever the reason, poetry is having a moment. It's National Poetry Month. Among the many events and initiatives underway is a new statewide effort to promote poetry education to raise appreciation and understand of poetry among students—and the general public as well. We’ll learn about poetry programs and events, and hear about how poets in Maine have been faring during the pandemic.
Panelists:
Richard Blanco, poet, author, speaker, civil engineer; Inaugural Poet for Obama's second Inauguration
