Once the poems are written, participants will create a mixed media collage about their poems which will be displayed March 1 - April 30, 2025, on the Community Sustainable Art Wall at Clark County Library where library visitors are "free to be inspired" in celebration of April's National Poetry Month.

Kevin Buckley is an award-winning artist, author and designer from Las Vegas where his work has appeared on radio, print, online and in gallery shows. His epistolary poem "Don't Flatter Yourself" was chosen for inclusion to the statewide poetry project "Nevadan To Nevadan: What I Need To Tell You" sponsored by Nevada Arts Council. Kevin taught five poetry styles (acrostic, epistolary, blackout, ekphrastic, diminishing) for Clark County Library January-March 2024 in which his collage art & poems were displayed on the Community Sustainable Art Wall along with his students' work in recognition of National Poetry Month during April 2024. He returns to teach four different styles of poetry for this new set of workshops.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
