Let’s Celebrate! April is National Poetry Month. So, mark your calendars for Monday, April 21 at noon. Bring along a poem to share, published or personal, one that considers the various bridges, real or metaphorical, that we cross over throughout life.
The event will be in the Luria Library Cafe and there will be a prize drawing for those who read a poem.
O little Icarus,
you chewed on a cloud, you bit the sun
and came tumbling down, head first,
not into the sea, but hard
on the hard packed gravel.
You fell on your eye. You fell on your chin.
What a shiner! What a faint you had
and then crawled home,
a knocked-out humpty dumpty
in my arms. . . .
(Sexton)
