Welcome to National Poetry Month 2026!
Since 1996, the Academy of American Poets has designated April as a time to celebrate and engage poetry.
New to poetry? Check out our guide to engaging poetry from last April.
We’ve been publishing poetry collections here at the ERB for many years. To celebrate National Poetry Month 2026, we’ve selected posts honoring great American poets (both classic and contemporary) for you to enjoy this month. Come back each day (except Sundays) to unveil the next poet!
