April has been designated National Poetry Month. Learning, art and poetry (literature) was a big part of the Renaissance movement in Europe during the 1300s to 1500 C.E. The interest in learning was spurred on by humanism. Dante’s poem, “The Divine Comedy” was a social commentary and a model for Renaissance writers.
