Any poem, any language! The LRC celebrates National Poetry Month. Sweet Poetry is an evening event in April named for enjoying tasty treats while sharing poems in any language. Celebrate your language and culture by reading/signing a poem written by your favorite poet, or an original creation!
Join us on Tuesday, April 13, 2027 at 5:30 pm in the Klarman Hall Atrium. During the event, Cornell community members are invited to watch live poetry recitations in multiple languages. The event booklet, available digitally, includes transcriptions of each poem along with approximate English translations.
We look forward to an amazing lineup of poetry readings this April and are excited to celebrate National Poetry Month together!
Want to share your favorite poem? Please complete the participation form by Friday, March 26, 2027. Contact the LRC at cornelllrc@cornell.edu if you have any questions.
