Pocket Poems

In honor of the 30th anniversary of National Poetry Month, our team chose to produce pocket poems featuring work from our archive. Pocket poems are bite-sized nuggets of poetry deliciousness. These found objects are ephemeral, meant to be carried close and shared widely. Whether it’s on your coffee cup, bookmark, or sanitary napkin, poetry is meant for everyone and doesn’t have to take itself too seriously.
