Bookmans Midtown is celebrating Earth Day and National Poetry Month with the Urban Poetry Pollinators (UPP). UPP planted a pollinator garden of chalked poetry, (masked and distanced), on the front sidewalk at Bookmans Midtown. Stroll through the poetic bed of soil, and read curated poems about gardening, pollinators, wildflowers, and cacti, to honor the spirit of spring and working in a garden!

Stop by and add a poem along the theme!

About Urban Poetry Pollinators

Urban Poetry Pollinators is a Tucson-based volunteer poetry group dedicated to cultivating poetry in public spaces. The goal of UPP is to inspire neighborhoods and individuals to pollinate poetry in public spaces with the hope of sparking joy, dialogue, and human connection. Poetry pollination ideas are endless…Choose a poem along with a loaf of bread at your local baker, chalk a poem at a crosswalk or in front of a public library, tape a poem to a barber chair, pull a poem from a Poetry Mailbox, hand a poem to your local crossing guard! Stimulate your own ideas.
