Established by the Academy of American Poets in 1996, National Poetry Month occurs in April and serves as an annual reminder of the integral roles poetry plays in culture. Additionally, March 21 is World Poetry Day, which honors linguistic diversity through poetry across different cultures and continents. This year at Mount Holyoke College, students and faculty are celebrating National Poetry Month across campus, including in the Stimson Room of Williston Memorial Library, which is home to a diverse range of recently-acquired poetry and journals, according to LITSInstalls Volume 13, Issue 7. This year, the Mount Holyoke News celebrates these two events by interviewing students about their favorite poems from around the world.
