April is National Poetry Month! We hope you'll join Latitudes as we celebrate the art of the written and spoken word this month with our April feature, Dianne Borsenik!

Dianne Borsenik is active in the northern Ohio poetry scene and regional reading circuit. Her work has appeared in The Offbeat, Chiron Review, Slipstream, Rosebud, Lilliput Review, and many other publications. In 2011, she founded NightBallet Press and has since published over 100 titles for poets across the US. Lit Youngstown put her poem "Disco" on their tee shirts, which makes her feel like a rock star. Find her on Facebook and at www.dianneborsenik.com.

As always, we will be hosting an open mic following our feature, to give you a chance to share your own work (or the work of someone else) during National Poetry Month!  (Please limit your open mic reading to 3 minutes to make room for all our open mic readers--thank you!)
