National Poetry Month 2017
This week, April 9-15, is National Library Week! This annual event is sponsored by the American Library Association and is observed by libraries across the United States. The entire month of April is also known as National Poetry Month, which was started by the Academy of American Poets.
The NC Literary Map maintains a specific genre just for North Carolina Poetry, which includes well over one hundred titles. Our oldest-known work is "The Head of Medusa", published in 1827 by Robert Potter. Robert Morgan holds the most recent spot with "Dark Energy", published in 2015. In between are dozens upon dozens of fascinating poems such as "Possum", published in 2004, and "The New Day", published in 1964, by current and former NC Poet Laureates, Shelby Stephenson and Samuel Ragan, respectively.

The Airlie Gardens
Spring is here! Flowers are in bloom and trees are budding. Our gardens and roadsides are ablaze with color. The 70th annual NC Azalea Festival is happening this weekend, April 5-9, in Wilmington. North Carolina has several historic, maintained public gardens across the state, including the Airlie Gardens, which are also located in Wilmington. These famous gardens have been the site of weddings, television and movie settings, and visitors from around the world.
Wilmington native and local historian Susan Taylor Block wrote about the history of these gardens in the aptly-titled, "Airlie: The Garden of Wilmington". Kids young and old will enjoy a picture book full of paintings from places within the gardens written by Anne Russell. The book's title captures a child's sense of wonder: "The Mystical Magical Amazing Fantastical Gardens of Airlie".
