April is National Poetry Month and San Diego Writers Ink is Celebrating All Month

April 13, 2015 - PRLog -- According to poets.org, National Poetry Month “is the largest literary celebration in the world, with tens of millions of readers, students, K-12 teachers, librarians, booksellers, literary events curators, publishers, bloggers, and, of course, poets marking poetry’s important place in our culture and our lives.”

The Academy of American Poets founded National Poetry Month in April 1996.

The San Diego Writers, Ink will celebrate the month by offering Poetry Read & Critique groups, workshops and readings.  Many of our members and instructors have won awards for their poetry.

Plan on attending these events at the InkSpot located at NTC Liberty Station during Poetry Month.
