Since this program began, the work of nearly 90 poets from the U.S., Canada, England, Wales, Spain, Australia, and China have appeared on over 2500 java jackets, 1000 bookmarks, nearly 2,000 postcards and in hand-sized books. Some of these poems related to biking, walking and an appreciation for nature and were distributed by two different companies, Community Car and Budget Bicycle. Other poems selected for the subsequent "Postage Due" project, touching on modes of written communication, were made available at Fair Trade and Michelangelo's coffeehouses, as well as Avol's and A Room of One's Own bookstores in downtown Madison, Wisconsin.

CURRENTLY IN
WORLDWIDE CIRCULATION

Poems selected for the 2007 theme titled "No Direct Route Home" involved surprising detours intended to leave the reader stranded, (which wasn't necessarily an unpleasant experience). Each poem was paired with the abstract art of Midwestern artist, Sarah Spencer, and produced on quality cardstock postcards. The contributors received complimentary copies for personal distribution. In addition, postcards were made available free of charge at the Milward Farrell Fine Arts Gallery, Ma Cha Teahouse & Gallery, Absolutely Art Gallery, the Java Joint Escape Art Gallery, Bungalow 1227 Gallery, Avol's Bookstore and Zu Zu Cafe & Market in Madison, Wisconsin. They were also part of the National Poetry Month displays at the Madison Central Library and the Ashman, Monroe and Southside branches.
