Celebrate the joy of poetry by sharing a poem as the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point marks Poem in Your Pocket Day on Thursday, April 18.<\/p>\n

April marks National Poetry Month and brings with it Poem in Your Pocket Day, encouraging people to select a poem, carry it with them and share it with friends, family, colleagues and strangers alike. The UW-Stevens Point Libraries aims to bring their reach beyond the library walls to engage Central Wisconsin region in the celebration of poetry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to bring the joy of poetry to our community in such a tangible way,\u201d said Marketing\/Outreach Librarian Nerissa Nelson. \u201cPoem in Your Pocket Day is a great opportunity for people to connect through the shared language of poetry, fostering moments of discovery and appreciation in an unexpected way on that day.\u201d<\/p>\n

For those looking for a poem for the day, the UWSP Libraries and their community partners will provide access to a variety of poems in print and digital formats. This celebration also serves as an invitation to explore the extensive collections of poetry available through libraries and bookstores in your neighborhood.<\/p>\n

In celebration of National Poetry Month and the UW-Stevens Point Allen F. Blocher Planetarium\u2019s 60th anniversary, the planetarium will host \u201cPoetry in the Planetarium\u201d on Saturday, April 20, from 2-3 p.m. This free event will feature six astronomy-themed poem readings by UWSP students.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe encourage everyone to join us on April 18 in sharing the love of poetry,\u201d added Nelson. \u201cIt\u2019s a simple yet meaningful way to connect, engage and inspire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Poem-In-Your-Pocket Day is an official activity created by the American Academy of Poets as part of National Poetry Month.<\/p>\n
