public poem action, a read write poem event
As poets, we all feel it’s important to get poetry (and poets) out into communities, do we not? What better way than a public poetry action? How will it work? It’s easy:
1. Write a short poem and print out one or more copies.
2. Take that copy/copies out in public and photograph it/them in public spaces.
3. Either keep the copies once you have photographed them or leave them out there in the wild for others to come across. (Just don’t get too messy with it — we want people to engage with the poems, not feel like we’re littering.)
4. Send your photos to info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org. We’ll post them to the Read Write Poem Facebook page and link to the page from the main Read Write Poem site.
5. If you want your photo attributed to you and linked to your site, include your name and URL in your email submission.
Here’s an example of a public poem Dana made a couple of years ago, just to give you an idea of how you might approach the endeavor: Public Poem.
