This is the ninth year of NPM, which was developed by the Academy of American Poets to bring together publishers, booksellers, literary organizations, libraries, schools, and poets around the country to celebrate poetry and its vital place in American culture.

This year the Academy will launch a National Poetry Almanac, a year-long promotion which will be available online beginning April 1, 2004. The Almanac will feature twelve different monthly themes highlighting activities, ideas, and history for individual exploration and classroom use. It will open with "30 Ways to Celebrate National Poetry Month" in April.
