Newsletter - Library at Coastal Carolina Community College

In celebration of National Poetry Month, the library has partnered with the English Department to showcase a special display highlighting American poetry. Visit us throughout April to explore a curated selection of works from influential poets past and present—ranging from the classic voices of Emily Dickinson and Langston Hughes to contemporary writers like Shane McCrae.

National Poetry Month was established in 1996 by the Academy of American Poets to recognize the vital role poetry plays in our culture and lives. It’s a time to appreciate the power of language, the beauty of verse, and the diverse voices that shape American literature. Learn more at poets.org.

We invite faculty, staff, and students to browse the display, borrow a book, or just take a moment to enjoy the poems. Whether you’re teaching, studying, or simply reading for pleasure, there’s something here to inspire.

Let us know if you'd like to collaborate on a display!
