Every National Poetry Month we present Dear Poet, a multimedia education project that invites young people in grades five through twelve to write letters in response to poems written and read by award-winning poets.

Cada més nacional de la poesía presentamos Dear Poet, un proyecto educacional multimedia que invita a jóvenes en grados cinco—doce a escribir cartas respondiendo a poemas escritos y recitados por poemas galardonados.

Every letter will be read by a team of volunteers, and all students can expect a general response from the poet to whom they wrote, as well as a certificate honoring their work. Five letters to each of our nine participating poets will be selected at the end of National Poetry Month, and the poets will write a personalized response to the selected student letters. The letters will be published in a shareable, PDF booklet during the summer.
