We study a modification of Poisson geometry by a closed 3-form. Just as forordinary Poisson structures, these "twisted" Poisson structures areconveniently described as Dirac structures in suitable Courant algebroids. Theadditive group of 2-forms acts on twisted Poisson structures and permits themto be seen as glued from ordinary Poisson structures defined on local patches.We conclude with remarks on deformation quantization and twisted symplecticgroupoids.
