In celebration of National Poetry Month, which begins April 1, the HVCC campus community is invited to join the Campus Poetry Project presented by the English, Foreign Languages and English as a Second Language Department.
Throughout April, be on the lookout for poetry postings in the Campus Chronicle, on digital monitors and on lawn signs across our main campus. Take a selfie with your favorite lawn sign and join the Campus Poetry Project D2L page to learn about more activities with poetry.
This year, the American Academy of Poets is highlighting this verse: “This/is the world I want to live in. The shared world.”
The 2025 poster features an excerpt from “Gate A-4,” a poem by former Young People’s Poet Laureate and Academy Chancellor Naomi Shihab Nye, as well as artwork by New York Times-bestselling author and illustrator Christy Mandin. She was selected by Scholastic, the global children’s publishing, education and media company, to create the artwork. The official poster from the American Academy of Poets is shown below.
Please visit the Campus Chronicle/Student Announcements on Tuesday, April 1, to read the first NPM selection: “Spring” by Mary Oliver.
Happy National Poetry Month!
