October 2, 2014 is National Poetry Day in the UK. According to Forward Arts Foundation, National Poetry Day is the nation’s biggest celebration of poetry. Anyone and everyone is invited to join in, releasing poetry into the streets, squares, supermarkets, parks, train stations, bus-stops and post-boxes. Tie it on trees, if you like. (They do in Japan.) Or stick it in your window for the world to see. This year’s theme is "Remember," so if you remember a poem, however short, pass it on with hashtag #thinkofapoem.
The Tea & Poetry Book Club will find any excuse for celebrating poetry. Even if you live in the U.S.A. or anywhere around the world, attend a reading, purchase a collection of poetry, post a poem on your social media sites or find an event or activity paying homage to the art of poetry!
