Taking poetry to the streets

The Idea

The concept of our project is about offering words and art to those that have limited access to these gifts. Getting the words to those that are in confined environments, living on the edge, the homeless and lonely, etc. We share our art, print and ”drop” in random places around the world.

The Specifics

As writers and artists, we have an obligation to share our gifts and enrich the lives of others. I started this organization a year ago and fund it 100% myself. I would like to expand this into the local VA Hospital for returning soldiers. I want them to have a place where their words matter & are shared. I would use any funds for printing and mailing copies globally.
