Sign Up for the Book Review’s 2026 Challenge

Hello book lovers!

What better way to close out National Poetry month than by memorizing a poem?

Next week, from April 20-24, the Book Review will unveil our second poetry challenge. Like last year’s, it will bring you five days of games, videos and writing about one wonderful poem.

Make sure you’re among the first to see each new installment by signing up for the Book Review newsletter. After the challenge is over, you will continue to receive the newsletter, which features book recommendations, publishing news and more. You’ll also receive notifications when we publish our weekly book recommendation column. You can find out which newsletters you are signed up for here.
