National Poetry Month 2022
National Poetry Month 2022

Fri, Apr 1

This April, the City of San Antonio’s Department of Arts & Culture invites the entire community to participate in National Poetry Month.

For 26 years, the Academy of American Poets has celebrated National Poetry Month each April to remind the public that poets have an integral role to play in our culture and that poetry matters. The City of San Antonio joined the National Poetry Month celebration, the largest literacy celebration in the world, in 2009 to increase public awareness about the importance of poetry. Many talented poets call San Antonio home, and poetry has an essential place in the culture of San Antonio. More than 30 events are scheduled for this year’s celebration, including readings, workshops, performances, and discussions.  

This year’s National Poetry Month offers diverse events for families, friends, and veterans to join in on the nationwide celebration. A sample of other events include: 
• 4/1 – 4/30: Ekphrastic Celebrations by Gemini Ink Literary Arts Center and Bihl Haus Arts
