Today is “Poem In Your Pocket Day.” Even though it’s not an official holiday, Barton Community College English instructor Jaime Oss hopes some of us will carry copies of poems in our pockets and give them to other people throughout the day.The college is celebrating National Poetry Month by inviting students and the community to post poetry online and with tweets. People are also invited to recite others’ poetry or share their original work during open mic sessions in the Student Union.
Life gets an open mic
