The idea behind 
is this — craft a Poem a day for 30 days! Sounds easy, but simple?? Oh, no… not for me, anyway…
I intend to,
I want to,
I try to.
And then…
life happens.
So, I do what I can. Sometimes, it’s reading other people’s poetry. That’s okay. Maybe, I’m doing something poetry-related through TPS.
Obviously, a group called Tower Poetry Society loves to celebrate Poetry. We do it all the time, but we can certainly take this opportunity to share our love for the craft with the world!!
We have some events that can help you to celebrate and share poetry with others:
- April 5 & April 26 — Tower Poets will be reading at AGH, 1-4 pm. Tower poets will be onsite to read the poetry that the art inspired.
- A booklet of the poems will be available for the month of April. You can read the poems at the same time you view the artwork that inspired them. Note, the Reading Event is free, as the permanent collection (2nd floor) is free access (no admission). Download & Print Tower Poetry’s Ekphrastic Experience 2025 booklet. Alternatively, you could download the booklet to your device to use on your tour!
- April 12, 2025 — Monthly Workshop (Westdale Library, 2-4 pm)
Here’s a booklet to take on your guided tour, Download & Print AGH-TPS Ekphrasatic Experience Booklet to print (Final 2025 03 16 13h49) (1) (double-sided & fold into a booklet). Or here’s a regular Brochure, which you could download to your device to use on your tour! (AVAILABLE SOON)
https://www.napowrimo.net/ –> Provides a daily post with prompts and featured poets & resources, like this from March 15, 2025:
“This year, our (optional) prompts will be focused on encouraging you to write poems that engage with art and music. We’ll be back in the three days leading up to the beginning of our yearly challenge, but in the meantime — and with the art world in mind — why not check out Bloomberg Connects? It’s an app that lets you virtually visit museums all over the world!”
