[David Andrews]

>
>April is national poetry month!  Established by the Academy of American
>Poets in 1996, National Poetry Month celebrates poetry and its vital
>place in American culture.  Join in the fun - National Braille Press has
>reprinted two braille books of poetry:
>
>Shel Silverstein's "Where the Sidewalk Ends"
>http://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/SIDEWALK.html
>
>and Caroline Kennedy's "A Family of Poems:  My Favorite Poetry for
>Children"
>http://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/KENNEDY.html
>
>To hear audio versions of poets reciting a specially selected poem in
>honor of poetry month, WGBH and David Grubin Productions have created
>the Poetry Everywhere website. Poetry Everywhere was designed to take a
>fresh look at poetry using a variety of production approaches.  A
>different poem will be recited each day and poetry readings will take
>place between PBS television broadcasts during the month of April.
