Congratulations to Michelle Brown for being a featured poet in this year’s Poetry in Transit selection!

Now celebrating its 28th year, this community-engagement project, made possible through a partnership with TransLink and BC Transit, is an opportunity to showcase BC’s regional poets. Each year, we invite submissions of BC-authored poems from Canadian publishers and select 10 local poets to be featured in the campaign. A collection of bus cards featuring the poetry selections are produced and placed on transit vehicles across the province for riders to discover on their daily commutes. Each bus card now features the cover art of the book in which the selected poem was first published.
