Deadline extended for second annual Lawrence Transit Poet Laureate Program
September 30, 2024
Calling all poets!
Join poet and professor Megan Kaminski for Lawrence Transit’s second annual Poet Laureate program.
For this year’s program, we encourage poems around themes of community, transportation, and home. We welcome everyone in honoring the movements, places, and feelings that tell the stories of our days.
“Poetry doesn’t just live in books or in quiet rooms—it lives and breathes with us as we travel through our day,” said Kaminski. “By writing and sharing our words, we connect to each other, to ourselves, and to our larger communities. I’m excited to collaborate with Lawrence Transit to make space for the beauty and poetry in our everyday lives.”
The Lawrence Transit Poet Laureate program offers the chance for local poets of any age and their poems to be featured on Lawrence Transit electric buses. To be considered, submit a transit-related poem by October 14, 2024.
