Opportunity for students to be published -- MotesBooks announces an extended submissions deadline for its upcoming anthology We All Live Downstream: Young Americans Reflect on Mountaintop Removal. Submissions will be accepted until May 1. Before submitting, young writers should read complete guidelines at Mote Books


The Academy of American Poets announces the first national Poem In Your Pocket Day on April 17. The Academy encourages you to select a poem then carry it (poem in your pocket!) throughout the day. Held during National Poetry Month in New York City for the last five years, Poem In Your Pocket Day is marked with festivities in classrooms, parks, libraries, bookstores, workplaces, and other venues where readers unfold their pocketed poems and read in celebration of the visions of poets. Help the Academy promote this literary celebration in your community by: Organizing a "Poems for Pockets" giveaway in your school or workplace in the days leading up to Poem in Your Pocket Day. Put poems in office mailboxes, lunch trays, or other unexpected places.

Please pass along to other faculty that you may think would want to share with students.
