Saint Paul’s sidewalk poetry project is complete
November 29, 2008
by Erica Mauter • Saint Paul’s sidewalk poetry project, Everyday Poems for City Sidewalk, is now being installed on the streets of Saint Paul. You’ll recall there was a contest earlier this year for Saint Paul residents to submit poetry for the project.

“If you’re a kid growing up around here, maybe you ride your bike by and notice it and say, ‘Let’s meet near the poem.’ Or, ‘Let’s use the poem for second base.’ It gets folded into your life.” He continued, “Or maybe there’s a word, like tulle, which you don’t know when you’re in third grade. And then in eighth grade, you learn about the word, and you understand the poem in a different way.”
Check the map. Are there any in your neck of the woods? Wow, Saint Paul. Poetry on the sidewalks. Crazy traffic-calming street signs. What next?
