The poetry section has been fleshed out and is awaiting your eager eyes! Challenge yourself this National Poetry Month and introduce yourself to a new poet. We've been hard at work scrutinizing our poetry shelves and have gathered -- as collies gather peripherally roaming sheep -- the best of the best, the famous and the obscure, the celebrated and the overlooked.
Come delve! Come dive! Immerse yourself! Dangle poetry books on strings from your ceiling! Write love letters to your favorite poet, dead or alive! Send poems in the mail! Tattoo a poem on your buttock! Place a prank call and read a poem to the person who answers! Rent an airplane and write a poem in cursive across the sky!
