2022 NaPo Info Station
Hello poet! On behalf of the YWS Poetry Crew, welcome to the 2022 NaPo Information Station. National Poetry Month officially kicks off April 1st and will be a month full of sweet poetry fun. Below you'll find a list of your important links, an index of the 2022 threads, and maybe some croissants or toast to go with your poetry jam and a basket of encouragement. Feel free to post below if you have prompts, questions, comments, or want to share about how your NaPo experience is going!
What is National Poetry Month aka NaPo?
National Poetry Month is celebrated all over the globe and is a month-long celebration of all things poetry during the month of April. The classic challenge is to write 30 Poems in 30 days, one for every day in April. You don't have to do 30 poems to participate in NaPo on YWS though, in fact, there'll be a host of challenges and opportunities to earn badges too.
In addition to being challenged to write poetry, we'd also love for you to join us in reading poetry by commenting on other people's NaPo threads and joining in our poetry discussions and write-ins throughout the month too!
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 is a great way to support and encourage each other during NaPo. Watch out for other ways to participate in Poetry Jams (poetry-write-ins), discussions, and contests throughout the month.
If you have questions don't hesitate to ask!
