Grier Celebrates Poetry Month

In honor of this year's National Poetry Month, Grier celebrates in many ways. The library displays books of poetry, about writing poetry, and novels in verse. New this year, this library features a Found Poetry display. Students can visit the library and create their own poems from pages of old books. There are many ways to create found poetry. In one method, students can cut and paste words, arranging them to create new poems, or students can blackout lines of text and make a poem from the remaining words. Students can also draw colorful photos over the discarded bookpages to make art and poetry at the same time.
