National Poetry Month Extra

Brian Spears bio ↓ · May 1st, 2010 · filed under Other

Yes, we know the old rhyme “30 days hath September, April, June, and November,” but here at Rumpus Original Poetry, we’re not satisfied with a 30 day National Poetry Month. Poetry deserves 31 days, so we’re creating April 31st, and giving it to Aimee Nezhukumatathil.

I’d like to publicly thank all the poets who provided poems for our project, as well as those who were unable to contribute. You can find links to all the poems here.

Brian Spears's first collection of poetry, A Witness in Exile is now available through Louisiana Literature Press. He is the Poetry Editor for The Rumpus, and has just relocated to Iowa. More from this author →

This is The Rumpus

The Rumpus.net is an online magazine focused on culture, as opposed to "pop culture." Pop culture can be hard to define and the term means different things to different people. Basically, we're not opposed to things that are popular, but we have no interest in "art" created by marketing executives. And we have no interest in derivative art, like images of famous people made from shoelaces or Star Wars characters in funny wigs. (More on what we're about here, here, and here.)

The Rumpus is not worried about being the first to break the news. We care about good writing, and we'll publish essays just because the writing is good. And we won't run a well crafted meditation alongside an actor's opinion of the war in Iraq. (more)
