April is National Poetry Month! Some say that you can’t really love poetry until you’ve heard it, and while we’re not sure if that’s entirely true, what we can say for certain is that hearing a poet’s work come to life when rhythm and emphasis and nuances are read aloud is truly special.

Poetry is for everyone, and so is our selection of recommendations for this month’s listens. There’s the complete collection of Maya Angelou’s poetry read by fan-favorite narrator Robin Miles, a vulnerable new collection from Sarah Kay, and even a new picture book poem for young listeners written and read by Amanda Gorman. Find what speaks to you.
