National Poetry Month 2010 was amazing! My 30 Days of Poetry, Jazz, and Earth Day Awareness celebration gave me a chance to rediscover some of my favorite poets and poems. I also discovered new poets and poems. I had big fun recording my audio blogs and posting them on Cinchcast, Twitter, and Facebook each day. Just in case you missed listening to them, I have included a list of links for the period of April 24 to April 30 below. Enjoy!
