APRIL IS NATIONAL POETRY MONTH

Join the Ukiah & Willits Libraries in celebrating National Poetry Month.

Pick up your poem of the day through April.

Ink runs from the corners of my mouth.
There is no happiness like mine.
I have been eating poetry.

The librarian does not believe what she sees.
Her eyes are sad
and she walks with her hands in her dress.

a fragment from "Eating Poetry" by Mark Strand
