ANGOLA â You can celebrate National Poetry month all April long with various events and activities scheduled to take place in and around Angola.
Now in its 25th year, National Poetry Month was introduced in 1996 by the American Academy of Poets to increase awareness and appreciation of poetry throughout the United States.
In years past, celebrations in Angola have included a daily poetry reading on the Public Square in front of the Brokaw Movie House with storyteller, Trine University professor and columnist for this newspaper Lou Ann Homan.
This year, however, Homan said sheâs approaching poetry month another way.
âI am doing poetry month a little differently, but fun,â she said.
