The Power of Public Space Poetry
Have you ever been walking through a public space when you’re stopped, suddenly, in your tracks by the most uplifting, unexpected sight?
Public Poetry.
Perhaps humanity needs this more than ever.
Words to make us stop and think.
Words to encourage us to make the right choices.
Words to inspire
to uplift
to nurture
to remind us
of our shared humanity,
of the little things that, essentially, are the big things
and that we only get one shot at this.
