Billy Collins, former US Poet Laureate, is presenting a poem a day for 180 days. It's sponsored by the Library of Congress.
"Poetry 180 is designed to make it easy for students to hear or read a poem on each of the 180 days of the school year."

The first poem is one of his but I think the rest are all from other poets.
The project is aimed at high school students, but I think I can still relate and hope to gain some insight into different poetry styles. Maybe 180 days from now I'll have a better grasp on things.
