Hi there! On behalf of the Poetry Crew Moderator Team welcome to the 2021 Information Center for National Poetry Month which officially starts April 1st! It's going to be an amazing month filled with poetry! Below you'll find all the information about NaPo to get you started and the index of the 2021 threads and information links. If you want to share prompts, encouragement, or links to poetry jams you're hosting below, please feel free to do so!
What is National Poetry Month aka NaPo?
National Poetry Month (which has actually turned into a Global celebration) happens every April and it's a whole month of celebrating all things poetry. The traditional challenge is to write 30 poems during the month of April, one every day for the month. You don't have to write 30 poems to participate, but if you're up for the challenge, give it a try!
There will be badges available for participating at all different levels (5 poems, 15 poems, 30 poems)! In addition to writing poetry there are other ways you can participate by jumping into the workshops leading up to NaPo this March, collecting jam links from poetry-jams (poetry write-ins), commenting on other threads, and special challenges throughout the month.
How do I participate in NaPo?
To participate in National Poetry Month, you actually don't need to post your poems through the publishing center (that'd be a lot of poems!) But to be considered for the badges and also to let everyone else admire your poetry please make a new thread (just one) in the NaPoWriMo Forum to post your poems in. If you're interested in working towards the NaPo Badges please be sure to number your poems! We also 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 that sticker. Leaving comments in other people's poetry threads can be a great way to participate, learn, and encourage each other during the month!
If you have questions don't hesitate to ask!
