Poetry Jumps off the Shelf

January 12th, 2010 Molly

at the Central Library!  Launched in May 2004 by local poet Shoshauna Shy, Poetry Jumps off the Shelf takes poetry out of the libraries, bookstores and classrooms and into the public arena.  A display featuring new postcards released this fall can be found on the first floor of the Central Library.  Pick up a free postcard and send a poem to a friend!

This latest project titled “Lines in the Sand” features poems that reach across territorial, cultural and interpersonal boundaries.  Paired with the abstract art of Sarah Spencer and produced on postcards, they made their debut at the first Lorine Niedecker Poetry Festival in Fort Atkinson and at the Harambee-South Madison Health & Family Center in October.
