READ + WRITE: 30 Days of Poetry

For the ninth consecutive year, poet Diane Kendig (https://dianekendig.com/) and the Cuyahoga County Public Library (https://www.cuyahogalibrary.org/) have collaborated to celebrate National Poetry Month (April) by publishing one poem each day on the Library’s website. 30 poems—30 Northeast Ohio poets—and, today, more than 4,000 email subscribers who read (and sometimes respond to) the featured poems.

It is quite an honor for me to be included among the poets whose poems were chosen this year! On April 19, my poem—“Midnight Shift at Quality Plastics”—will be featured, and I hope you will read, comment, and perhaps even write your own response to my poem.

Sign up to receive emails that will alert you to the poems as they are published here.

And please help to celebrate my fellow Northeast Ohio poets whose work will be featured on the CCPL website in April:
