Our Mission

​​​​​​Poetry in the Parks is a nonprofit public humanities organization dedicated to strengthening peoples' relationship to their land communities and deepening their appreciation of poetry.  

 

It currently costs approximately $2,000 each year to maintain and grow the project, including hosting the website and mobile apps, supporting the interactive poetry map, and preserving our growing collection of place-based poems. Your donation helps keep these resources available while expanding opportunities for people to  discover, share, and celebrate poetry in the land communities they call home.​​​​​​​​

​

A 501(c)(3) nonprofit registered in Wisconsin, donations to Poetry in the Parks are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Connect with Poetry in the Parks!

We welcome partnerships with poets, park systems, schools, libraries, museums, arts organizations, historical societies, Indigenous communities, and other groups interested in creating place-based poetry experiences. Whether you're launching a new initiative or building on an existing program, we'd love to explore how we can work together.

 

To learn more about collaborating, please use the contact form on this page or email us at poetryintheparks@gmail.com.

Help Keep Poetry on the Map!

Please support the future of place-based poetry with a gift to Locus Poetica. Your gift will be put toward app maintenance, hosting, updates, and the continued expansion of our public poetry archive.


Every contribution makes a difference, so we leave it to you to decide how much to give. Suggested donations are $10 (Poetry Lover), $25 (Poet), $50 (Bard), or $100+ (Laureate). If the suggested amounts don't fit your budget, please give what you can! Each and every contribution to Locus Poetica helps keep this volunteer led, free public humanities resource available to everyone.
