Give poetry a chance. Celebrate spring by discovering poems you can understand
Are you like millions of Americans who are turned off by poetry? “I don’t understand poems,” you might say. Or, “I like reading novels, but I just don’t ‘get’ poetry.” The month of April—the time of blooming daffodils and songbirds settling down for their next broods—is National Poetry Month, as declared in 2006 by the Academy of National Poets. Here’s a challenge for you. Rummage through your shelves and select a book of poetry, possibly from the days when you were in high school or college. Find a solitary place, perhaps out in the back yard, leaf through the pages, and find one poem you enjoy. Announce to your family or a friend that you’d like to read them this poem in honor of National Poetry Month. Poets are a diverse assortment of …

The Bensalem-based cover band will play at Kenny's in Southampton on Saturday, Feb. 23.
Now that its first show is old news, Bensalem's Stealin' the Covers is prepping for its next gig at Kenny's Spirited Eatery in Southampton. The first show, which took place in New Hope during the day, wasn't the typical night-time crowd that some of the members were used to, according to singer Donna Davis. However, she said the show still went really well and was a chance for the band to start and find its live performance groove. "It was the first gig I had in six years," Davis said. "So I kinda had to get the cobwebs out." All of the members have prior experience in bands, according to singer and rhythm guitarist Vic Monaco. For example, John Daly, who plays lead guitar and sings, has toured with Carl Wilson of the Beach Boys and has …
