Mapping Worcester in Poetry Making a Splash in the Community

June 15, 2023 by Irena Kaci

Beth Sweeney’s ‘Mapping Worcester in Poetry’ is getting some well-deserved media coverage. The first story is by Margaret Smith of the T&G:

“The next time you’re out and about in Worcester, you may well be following in the footsteps of Stanley Kunitz, Elizabeth Bishop, or Frank O’Hara. A new project aims to capture the places poets have trodden and take residents and visitors alike with them, with self-guided walking and driving tours of locations important in the lives of poets who have left their mark.

The project also includes a poetry competition, seeking poems about places in the city, both past and present, and a series of tours highlighting locations in the lives of poets born in or spent significant time in the city.” Continue reading

The second story is Holy Cross Magazine Spring Edition Volume 57 Issue 2 on Page 24. As soon as a digital copy is available, we will update our website with a link, but paper copies can be found on Holy Cross Campus.
