Poetry Month: get the poster

Poster by cartoonist Roz Chast for National Poetry Month
Joanna Conners of the Plain Dealer points out that cartoonist Roz Chast made a poster for this year's National Poetry Month (coming up this April)-- and you can get one free.
If you're a fan of Roz (check out her work here), here's your own Roz, suitable for framing. 

(and keep an eye on the Cuyahoga County Public Library site. Last year they posted a great series for National Poetry month, with a poem a day from Northeast Ohio poets, plus other fine stuff.  This year I expect even greater things!)
