April 28 is Poem in Your Pocket Day (letterpress edition)

Friday, April 28, is the last weekday of National Poetry Month, and the Holland and Terrell Libraries is celebrating Poem in Your Pocket Day — take a few minutes to come over to the Libraries to celebrate with us. You can browse the poetry collection in the Ruth Slonim Poetry Corner, read about a poet, write your own poem, or grab a poem to go.

Remember:

Keep a poem in your pocket
and a picture in your head
and you’ll never be lonely
at night when you’re in bed!

This year as a special opportunity we will be featuring Linnea Rash, WSU’s own Library Conservator, and the MASC letterpress! Come and set type for your own created haiku, or just watch the process! Linnea and her letterpress will be available from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. by the entrance to the CUB.
