National Poetry Month – The 25th annual celebration of poets and poetry!
In honor of National Poetry Month, I have created a video of the poem "Banana Cake Beat" written by Renee M. LaTulippe. I would like to thank Ms. LaTulippe and Dr. Sylvia Vardell for permission and guidance with this project.
“Launched by the Academy of American Poets in April 1996, National Poetry Month reminds the public that poets have an integral role to play in our culture and that poetry matters. Over the years, it has become the largest literary celebration in the world, with tens of millions of readers, students, K–12 teachers, librarians, booksellers, literary events curators, publishers, families, and, of course, poets, marking poetry's important place in our lives.”
You can find this poem and more like it, in "Hop To It: Poems to Get You Moving."
(An anthology of 100 new poems by 90 poets)
Happy National Poetry Month!
