"National" is now an inaccuracy, it happens everywhere, and the idea is to write one poem a day, every day, for the whole of April. They don't have to be great poems, or polished, or even necessarily complete... there just has to be something poem-like that you can show to your fellow poets.
Many of my favourite efforts originate from this exercise, like this or this so I make a point of trying to participate every year.
This year I think I'll do it naked — by which I mean I'll post the poems here, unedited, as I turn them out.
Expect a poem for every day, not always on the day in question, I do have a life and it would be unrealistic not to allow a little give and take, but expect 30 brand new poems in roughly the next 30 days.
I have the first two already, watch this space...
