POEM IN YOUR POCKET DAY 2014
Tomorrow, April 24, is Poem in Your Pocket Day. On this day, people all over the United States select a poem, carry it with them, and share it with others throughout the day. Dr. Gerald Barry, former associate dean of the School of Health Sciences, was a champion of Poem in Your Pocket Day. Each year he promoted this special day and encouraged (even insisted) his students and colleagues bring a poem to school to share.

So in honor of Dr. Barry, go ahead and take a few minutes to find a poem, print it out and put it in your pocket.
