Welcome to Knopf's Poem-a-Day 2008! Ten years ago we began a Knopf tradition. To celebrate National Poetry Month, we sent a poem a day by e-mail for 30 days to anyone who asked to receive them. Now, with over 35,000 subscribers, we are proud to continue with a whole new series of daily poems. Each day during the month of April you will receive a poem from some of the best poets in the world including Mark Strand, Mary Jo Salter, Julia Hartwig, and Richard Kenney, as well as classics from Frank O'Hara, Rudyard Kipling, Kenneth Koch and more. This year, we'll also be featuring special podcasts, gorgeous printable broadsides, and signed books. If you haven't subscribed yet, you may sign up in the bar at left. If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to email us: knopfwebmaster@randomhouse.com April 1: "A Phone Call to the Future" by Mary Jo Salter April 2: "Avenue A" by Frank O'Hara April 3: "Bild, 1959" and "Publication Date" by Franz Wright April 4: "Lightning Strikes the Protein-Rich Postcambrian Tide Pool" by Richard Kenney April 5: "The Duplications" by Kenneth Koch April 6: "To Psychoanalysis" by Kenneth Koch April 7: "March 10, 2001" by David Young April 8: "Special Orders" by Edward Hirsch April 9: "Tell Me Why This Hurry" by Julia Hartwig April 10: "Before A Departure in Spring" by W.S.
