Before we finish with April and our observance of National Poetry Month, we have one more book spine poem to share with you:
Epic!

Books + Poetry + Rainy Day = Book Spine Poetry!
Poetry springs eternal, pandemic be darned! The month of April can mean many things to different people, but to me, April Showers and the National Poetry Month designation stand out. So, on a recent rainy day stuck at home, I ransacked my personal library collection to create poetry from book spine titles. Let these following examples be a springboard for your own book spine poems. Gather the family round and get creative. See how many poems you can create by throwing in cookbooks, graphic novels, manuals and children’s books to the usual fiction and non-fiction mix.
Take a photo of your book spine poems, include the text, and email it to us at contactcirc@nevinslibrary.org.
For more inspiration, view past years’ book spine poetry from the Nevins Library.

Book Spine Poetry 2019
I can’t resist sneaking in book spine poetry before the end of National Poetry Month…
What in the world is going on?
It’s raining frogs
And then there’s this
Waking up
Breaking the spell
Life
