Literary Mama Rewind: Poetry

By Amanda Jaros

Welcome to Literary Mama Rewind! Every few weeks we’ll round up some of our favorite essays, stories, poems, columns and reviews from the Literary Mama archives relating to a particular theme. April is National Poetry Month, so for this Rewind we feature all poems. Start with these, then dive into the rest of the Literary Mama archives for plenty of poetry to fill the month.
