But then I found out that Take Your Poet to Work Day, celebrated on the 3rd Wednesday every July, falls on July 16th in 2025!
I couldn't pass this up.
This is also why I am putting up this post one day early: so that you have time to prepare!
This one goes our to all the POETRY people in the A to Z Challenge - and everyone who follows and reads their work :)
If you don't know what Take Your Poet to Work Day is, now you will. It is exactly what it sounds like: people print and cut out pictures of their favorite poets, and take them to work on this day. It started in 2013, and now it has a whole big online following. People take all kinds of favorite poets to work to show them off. There is even a hashtag: #poettowork
It is a simple and fun thing to do, and a great conversation starter about literature and poetry!
So, which poet are you taking to work tomorrow?
