The Academy of American Poets (http://www.poets.org) cites compelling (and somewhat sobering) examples of April in verse:

April is the cruelest month

-- T.S. Eliot

Whan that April with his showres soote
The droughte of March hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veine in swich licour,
Of which vertu engendred is the flowr

-- Geoffrey Chaucer,

To what purpose, April, do you return again?

-- Edna St. Vincent Millay

Overcome the year’s dreary passage to spring with the gripping images and enlightening reflections of poetry. Join the month’s celebration at DePaul by attending a reading by Dr. Bernardo Navia, assistant professor in Modern Languages. Stay tuned for details.
