Poem In Your Pocket: Recently added items - Poetry Society of America

Each April, the PSA collaborates with the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs to present Poem In Your Pocket Day, a city-wide program which encourages individuals to carry a poem with them throughout the day, to attend a poetry reading, or read a poem aloud themselves. The Envelope Project: A Poetry Exercise The PSA facilitates The Envelope Project. The Envelope Project was created by John Waldman, a published poet and elementary school teacher for 23 years in California and Illinois. With a particular interest in social studies and the language arts, Waldman developed this project to integrate poetry writing, reading, and spoken word in an interactive activity.
