The Academy of American Poets sponsors the annual National Poem in Your Pocket Day today. Since the Fall of 2000, Poetic Journeys has brought the campus community a “poetic respite from their busy days, and an opportunity” to enjoy poetry written by UConn students, faculty and staff every time they ride a bus or enter an elevator in the Library. So if you don’t have a pocket, take a look at the past Poetic Journeys poetry available on their website or in the University Archives and celebrate the end of the semester with a poem.
