Poem in Your Pocket Day – April 10, 2025

By

In celebration of National Poetry Month, the UWSP Libraries is excited once again to celebrate Poem in Your Pocket Day on April 10th! This event is all about sharing the joy of poetry, and we’re excited to offer you the chance to connect with others through the power of words.

How It Works: On April 10th, we’ll be distributing poems across campus in various locations for you to take, enjoy, and share. Grab one, take a moment to appreciate it, and spread the love of poetry with others.

Ways You Can Participate:

  • Check out our Curated Poetry Display (CCC 130). (Hint: A professor in the English department has work displayed :-) )

  • Share on Social Media: Select a poem and share it with the world using the hashtag #pocketpoem.

  • Pass It On: Hand a poem to a friend or colleague—bring a little poetry to someone’s day!

  • Poems from Home: Check out the recorded Poems from Home readings available on the UWSP Libraries Guide and enjoy some local talent.

  • Record & Share: Record yourself reading your favorite poem, then share it on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or any platform you prefer.

  • Email a Poem: Send a poem to friends, family, or even your local government leaders to brighten their day.

  • Video Chat: Schedule a call with a loved one and read a poem to them.

  • Add to Your Email Footer: Include a poem in your email signature to share it with everyone you communicate with.

  • Make a Poetry Playlist: Curate a playlist of your favorite poems or poetry readings and share it with your social networks.

We hope you enjoy this opportunity to bring poetry into your life and share it with others. Let’s keep the spirit of poetry flowing—one pocket-sized poem at a time.
