DO YOU KNOW A PLACE IN WORCESTER THAT IS WORTHY OF A POEM?

About The Exhibit

This newest exhibit, in partnership with Mapping Worcester in Poetry. The “Poem Next Door” traces how poems can grow from memories of places, including the city itself.

Learn about six nationally known poets who found inspiration in Worcester’s streets, buildings, parks, or neighborhoods. Discover how the city still nurtures new poems today.

“The Poem Next Door” is sponsored in part by the Mellon Foundation, through Scholarship in Action at College of the Holy Cross, and a grant from Mass Cultural Council.
