Poems are made by fools like me ...

Do you remember the rest of this famous poem? Poetry is a bigger part of our lives than we think. April is designated as National Poetry Month and we put together a book display of all types of poetry for you to check out. Naturally, we have books by former and current Poets Laureate but we also include child poet and Oprah fave -- Mattie Stepanek; Children's poet -- the late, great Shel Silverstein; Calvin Trillin for poems with a political bent and many, many more. Come into the library and see for yourself all the different types of books of poetry the library owns.

We also suggest you visit the Poets website if you'd like to get in touch with your 'inner poet' this month.

BTW, the rest of the poem is '... but only God can make a tree' from Trees by Joyce Kilmer.
