Readers, writers, poets, lend me your ears -- it's National Poetry Month!
Founded by the Academy of American Poets in 1996, it honors all things poetry throughout the month of April.

This year, MashableReads, Mashable's social book club, is joining the celebration with our own National Poetry Month Meetup. On April 30 at 5:30 p.m. ET, we're hosting a poetry-filled happy hour at Mashable HQ, featuring readings from some of New York City's best and brightest poets.
Food, drinks and readings from talented writers? There's no better way to enjoy poetry.
Check out our featured poets, below, and don't forget to RSVP on Meetup.
