you carry yours? In your wallet? In your pocket? On your Ipod? In February 2010
Edinburgh’s residents will be challenged to carry a poem as thousands of free Carry A
Poem books and pocket poetry cards are handed out across the city as part of its fourth
citywide reading campaign.
Carry a Poem 2010 is an initiative by the Edinburgh UNESCO City of Literature Trust
being run in conjunction with the Scottish Poetry Library and City of Edinburgh
Libraries. The campaign launches formally on 1st February 2010, with a range of events
and celebrations. Let the Carry a Poem team know how you carry your poem, and what
it means to you, at www.carryapoem.com. If you don’t have a particular verse in mind –
don’t worry – be inspired by the stories and poems in the book and on the website.
As part of the Carry a Poem campaign, we are asking you to bring the poem you carry to
share with us.
Throughout February, we will have a Poem Post Box at WHALE reception. Bring your
favourite poem to us in any format and drop it in. You can post it anonymously or you can
leave some details about you and why you have chosen the poem. At the end of the month,
we will take all the poems, type them out and display them in and exhibit them all.
Everyone who visits WHALE in February is invited to take part. Even if you can’t make it in
to see us, you can email your poem and we will include it.
