National Poetry Month (a.k.a. NatPoMo) rages across the U.S. in April. Wyoming boasts as assortment of literary events, in poetry and prose. U.S. Poet Laureate Ted Kooser will be in Laramie April 6-7, and our own poet laureate, David Romtvedt, will read at the Teton County Public Library in Jackson April 20. Other readings and book signings are scheduled for Sheridan, Cheyenne, Buffalo, Gillette, Wheatland, Rock Springs, and Meeteetse, among others. The Wyoming Arts Council will be holding the finals for the Poetry Out Loud recitation project April 10-11 in Cheyenne. I’ve been listing WYO and assorted Rocky Mountain events in my weekly wyolitmail newsletter. You can subscribe by leaving a blog comment with contact info.
