Hello and welcome to the information center for National Poetry Month! You can check in here for the latest information, leave comments about how your poetry journey is going, leave encouragement for your fellow poets, or questions if you have any. Please feel free to post links for workshops, poetry jams, or write-ins you're hosting here too! We'll also be collecting all the important links here and the index of all the 2020 NaPo threads here for easy access.
Good luck in your poetry writing everyone, we look forward to reading your poetry!
What is National Poetry Month aka NaPo?
National Poetry Month happens every April and traditionally is a challenge to write 30 poems during the month of April, one each day of the month. You don't have to write 30 poems to participate, but we'd love to challenge you to try! However if you only have time for a couple poems we'd still love to have you join us, in fact there'll even be a badge available for those who write 15 poems this year. Here on YWS National Poetry Month is a time where we celebrate all things poetry, and they'll be workshops, write-ins, special challenges, and even badges to earn to help support our poets.
To participate in National Poetry Month make a thread in this forum to collect all of your poems written in April. This event starts April 1st and runs through the month of April, the hard and fast rule is no poetry can be written before April 1st and count towards NaPo. You will need to post the poems in your thread to be elligible for the special badges at the end of the month - [information thread for badges coming soon] - also we would ask you to please choose "comments welcome" as a sticker on your thread if you are open to comments, and refrain from commenting on threads that don't have the sticker. Leaving comments in other people's poetry threads is a great way to participate and encourage each other during the month.
