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, nearly 2000 postcards, 1000 bookmarks,
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 coffeehouses and bookstores in downtown
Madison, Wisconsin.
Currently in worldwide circulation are the poems selected
for the 2007 theme titled "No
Direct Route Home" which involved surprising detours. These were
paired with an artist's work and produced on postcards which became part of the National Poetry Month displays at four public library locations, and
were made available for distribution at five art galleries, a cafe and bookstore. |
