The PSA inaugurated POETRY IN MOTION® in New York in 1992 and has since expanded the program to numerous cities from coast to coast. The program, which places poems in buses and subways, currently reaches over 10 million Americans on a daily basis.

Poetry in Motion® merchandise is now available in the PSA Store.

POETRY IN MOTION® is made possible by continued support of Barnes & Noble, Inc., The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, the National Endowment of the Arts, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, the New York State Council on the Arts, participating transit authorities, and local sponsors.

 


The Poetry Society of America Atlas is made possible by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Lila Wallace- Readers' Digest Fund.
