Margin Notes

The League of Canadian Poets’ mandate is to “elevate the cultural significance of poetry and champion the role of poets. Working to nurture and expand poetry communities and audiences, the organization cultivates the local, national, and international publication, performance, and recognition of poetry…”

As part of their work to expand audiences for Canadian poetry, they have a daily email service called “Poetry Pause”. Each day, subscribers receive a poem in their inbox.

This is a fantastic way to become more familiar with current Canadian poets and also grow your pool of possible poems for use in the classroom. It also gives up-and-coming poets an audience for their work!

You can subscribe for Poetry Pause here.
