April is Poetry Month, and we are marking it on Morning Edition with a month of your poems on our air. 

The themes this month are literary: Tell us about your world, but through the lens of genres. We'll announce one theme a week throughout the month.

You can email us your poem at yourvoice@wnyc.org. Please send us the text of your poem, as well as a voice memo. Record yourself on your phone, reading your poem somewhere quiet. Shorter poems are preferred, though we can also use excerpts if you need to go longer. Please make sure to say your name and town, borough or neighborhood in the recording. We might play your poem on the air. 

Looking for last year's submissions? They are mapped here.
