My 4th quarter reading goal is to read more new poetry.  Usually I find new poetry by stumbling upon it, a friend shows it to me, it's linked online from another source, or I'm exposed to it through a class. This quarter I want to read more new poetry on my own. As I find more new poetry, I plan to share it with you here. Also, as part of National Poetry Month this April, I'm tweeting one of my favorite poems each day.  So far, here's what I've shared with the world:
