Any poem, any language! The Language Resource Center celebrates National Poetry Month. Sweet Poetry is an evening event in April named for enjoying tasty treats while sharing poems in different languages.

Join us on Wednesday, April 15, 2026 at 5:30 pm in the Klarman Hall Atrium. During the event, Cornell community members are invited to watch live poetry recitations in multiple languages. The event booklet, available digitally, includes transcriptions of each poem along with approximate English translations.

We look forward to an amazing lineup of poetry readings/signings this April and are excited to celebrate National Poetry Month together!

This year's Sweet Poetry is part of The Asian & Asian American Center's APIDA Heritage Month celebration.

The event is co-sponsored by the Department of Asian Studies, the Department of Linguistics, and the Department of Romance Studies.
