I can’t resist. I’m back to post about poetry and only about poetry from now until Resurrection Sunday. After that, it’ll be back to poetry plus whatever else I post here: mostly book reviews and random thoughts.

Today is the first day of April and the first day of Poetry Month.
Why have a month devoted to poetry?
Why not?
It sounds like fun to me.
