Every month is a good month to appreciate poetry, but in April it's an official thing. Founded in 1996 by the Academy of American Poets, National Poetry Month has become one of the largest literary celebrations in the world.
What better way to participate than by reading a sonnet or a verse, a haiku or a limerick? We rounded up the most popular works of poetry on Goodreads, as determined by readers. These books have all been added to Goodreads members’ shelves more than 50,000 times and have earned at least a four-star average rating. (Note: We've only included one book for each author—sorry, Shel Silverstein and William Shakespeare).
Among these beloved titles, you'll find classics by Pablo Neruda, Emily Dickinson, and Robert Frost, as well as an ancient Greek epic poem and a collection from an award-winning "Instapoet."
Take a look at the books below and then add your own recommendations in the comments! Find out more about National Poetry Month here.
