September as Memorize Poetry Month
Here’s a sentence I’ll be quoting forever when my students complain that I make them memorize poems:
One poem per week…how difficult can that be?
At 32 poems, Deborah Ager’s agitating for September to be “Memorize Poetry Month,” with participants pledging to memorize a poem a week.

Unfortunately most of us were made to memorize poems that had no meaning to us. And yes, I dislike Joyce Kilmer for that very reason.

Thanks for the mention. I look forward to having a whole band of people participate.
