​​FREE 30/30 Challenge for National Poetry Month

As National Poetry Month approaches in April, I'm so excited to share my latest offering:

You're Invited!

30/30 Challenge for National Poetry Month

Whether you challenge yourself to READ a poem each day for 30 days, WRITE a poem each day for 30 days, or some combination of both -- I've got you covered.

If you sign up for the Free 30/30 Challenge by March 31, you'll get a daily email in April that includes:
  • Poem Spotlight: a daily link to a poem to inspire you. My spotlights focus on poetry written by poets who come from traditionally underrepresented communities.
  • Daily prompts: several prompts to help inspire your writing each day.

Need a late  start? If you didn't get a chance to sign up by 3/31, no worries! Sign up now and you'll get the first of 30 daily challenge emails in your inbox right away:

​​30/30 Challenge for National Poetry Month

P.S. May I Spotlight Your Work? 

Many of the poems in the 30/30 challenge were written by poets in my community.

I plan to continue spotlighting writers throughout the year. Do you have any work I can spotlight?

If you have a poem, short story, or personal essay published online that you would like to have considered for spotlighting, click here to read submission guidelines, subscribe, and submit your work.

Happy National Poetry Month!

It's never too early introduce your littles to poetry, and I've compiled a list of picture books that can help you do just that.

Below I've included books that feature poetry as well as books that share the biographies of great poets.

The starred (*) titles are books I own or have borrowed from the library, and the rest are titles I hope to check out soon.

​I've also included a link to my poetry collection Words or Water, but that one is just for the adults ;)
