Sound Learning Feature for April 2005 This month we visit American Public Media's The Writer's Almanac. In April 1996, the Academy of American Poets began National Poetry Month, which brings together writers, publishers, booksellers, libraries, and schools around the country to promote poetry in American culture. Thousands of businesses and literary organizations support National Poetry Month by hosting readings, festivals, workshops, and other events. The Writer's Almanac is a good resource for introducing poetry into our daily lives. It can be heard each day on public radio stations throughout the country. Each program features a poem, read by Garrison Keillor, and historical notes about literary figures. The poems and readings in this month's feature are of particular interest to teachers and students of English/language arts and creative writing.
