[New-Poetry] Auden at the Dinner Table

[TheOldMole]

Do you carry Dickinson's stanzas in your pocket? Do you recite Auden at the dinner table-without any prompting? Do you download more poems to your iPod than songs? Perhaps you're the person who celebrates National Poetry Month all year long-and in a way we can only imagine!

In anticipation of National Poetry Month 2007, The Academy of American Poets is looking for America's biggest poetry fans: people who demonstrate a passion for poetry that goes beyond the usual.

We'll select America's biggest poetry fans to receive prize packages including poetry books, CDs, t-shirts and tote bags. In addition, selected fans will have their submissions and profiles posted on Poets.org. We're hoping to choose one winner for each of the most popular poets on Poets.org:


a.. Emily Dickinson 
a.. Walt Whitman 
a.. Langston Hughes 
a.. William Carlos Williams 
a.. Sylvia Plath 
a.. Pablo Neruda 
a.. William Shakespeare 
a.. Dylan Thomas 
a.. E. E. Cummings 
a.. Robert Frost 
a.. W.H. Auden 

You don't see your favorite poet on the list? You can still enter. Write to us about your favorite poet. In addition to those above, we'll select a fan of one other poet listed on Poets.org. Click here for a full list of eligible poets. (Note: you can't vote for yourself.)



Think I'd have a shot with my Auden poem?
