Poetry in Transit

Loosely modeled after London’s Poems on the Underground, Poetry in Transit uses space inside all LCTA buses to display verse by local writers.

Poetry in Transit’s goal is to foster a contemplative, positive attitude among our communities.  Writers who otherwise would not know each other discover a common vision.  Local residents gain access to poetry in a space where poetry wouldn’t normally be read.  The goal is to demonstrate what art can do at its best: celebrate our common humanity!    The beloved Poetry in Transit program is celebrating its thirteenth year as a community arts project.

Showcasing the voices and works of a diverse group of writers from NEPA and beyond, this year’s collection investigates the idea of small.  The collection includes poems by the following writers:

Jenica Lodde

Janine P. Dubik

Rob Burnside

Jill Patton

Kristen Ivey

Brianna Schunk
