Poetry Crossing by California Poets in the Schools

Poetry Crossing by California Poets in the Schools

Come and gather at the Poetry Crossing to write poems of all shapes and sizes! Sit down with a Poet Teacher to create poems using a variety of interactive and fun processes. Stay and illustrate your poem, then take it home to share with everyone!

What inspired you to make this project?:
We believe in the goals of the MAKER community and we also work in the education space. In our exploration of poetry with students (many of whom are under-served), we are creative, collaborative, use critical thinking and put pencils to paper to bring the written word to life. Many of the poet teachers incorporate art and music into their poetry lessons in an exploration of possibilities.
