National Poetry Month Readings & Resources
Featured here are poetry readings as well as books and poems that may be found in the PCC libraries. Two readings were special events created as a response to the times we live in (One Poem & Shelter in Poems). The other poets featured were chosen due to their popularity (Olds, Kaur, & Vuong), the Tucson Poet Laureate (TC Tolbert), the US Poet Laureate (Joy Harjo), as well as two Indigenous poets who were both chosen for MacArthur Genius grants (Diaz & Zepeda).
