A well-crafted poem, with its message and rhythm, has the power to inspire, provoke or comfort. As April is National Poetry Month, it seems only fitting to suggest some means by which you may add some poetry to your days.
Get a Poem-a-Day (for each day in April). Submit your email address at the Poets.org website for said feature.
Consult the Undergraduate Research Guide to Poetry to find resources about poetry and poets.
Visit the Gaus Collection at College Library and make a selection or two from the stacks.
To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
--William Blake, Auguries of Innocence
