National Poetry Month 2012 is in April and I'm looking for guest posts from poetry readers and tour hosts for these guest posts. I want to fill out all of April early and be able to direct readers across the blogosphere for some great poetry discussion and celebration.
Not only will you be part of a tour involving poetry collections, poet interviews, guest posts from poetry readers, and maybe even just some great poems and discussion, you also get my new snazzy button -- and I can't believe I made it myself from a photo my hubby took at the National Arboretum. OK, that's a lame reason to join the blog tour.
I'm hoping to put together some great giveaways for everyone who participates either as a commenter or as a blog tour host/guest blogger.
I hope that even if you don't want to participate you'll spread the word. I want to fill up every day in April. Dates will be a first come, first serve basis, and I'll be posting the participating blogs on the schedule below as I hear from people.
Won't you join me in celebrating poetry?
