April is National Poetry Month, which makes this a perfect time to encourage young writers to try something new—or take their poetry a step further.
The Voices of Lincoln Poetry Contest 2026 is now open, and it includes a special category just for poets age 18 and under. Even better, there’s no entry fee, so it’s an easy, low-pressure way for students to write, revise, and share their work.
Every once in a while, a poetry book comes along that feels like pure kinetic energy on the page. That’s exactly the experience I had reading Dinos That Drive by Suzy Levinson, illustrated by Dustin Harbin. From the very first pages, it’s clear this is not a quiet, contemplative collection. This is a loud, lively, engine-revving celebration of dinosaurs, vehicles, and wordplay.
And really, what more do you need than that?
The premise is delightfully simple: dinosaurs are back, and not only are they alive and well, they’re driving everything from motorcycles and taxis to submarines and rocket ships. Each poem introduces a different dino, a different vehicle, and a different comedic scenario. The result is a collection that feels fast-paced, inventive, and consistently surprising.

Every so often, I come across a book that feels like it was made for the exact same reasons I write poems: to spark curiosity, invite laughter, and send readers wandering off into the wilderness of their own imagination. A Catalog of Curious Creatures by Shaun Jex is one of those books.
From the moment I opened it, I felt like I’d stumbled onto an old explorer’s notebook, one filled not with dry observations but with lively, lyrical encounters with the strange and the marvelous. Jex frames the collection as a kind of poetic field guide, and it’s a perfect conceit. These aren’t just poems; they’re sightings, warnings, tall tales, and campfire legends brought to life in verse.
