Join the University Libraries in celebrating National Poetry Month this April!
This year’s celebration takes as inspiration the poem "blessing the boats" by Lucille Clifton, and its final lines:
“...and may you in your innocence
sail through this to that"
Throughout the month of April, visit any Libraries location to receive a pocket poem to carry with you throughout your day. Community members were also invited to visit the East Entrance of Norlin Library on April 9th, 2023 and April 10th, 2024 to create poetry in community. The final collaborative poem is located on this guide in the "Community Poem 2024" tab.
