You may never see your name in lights

But you may see your poetry on a sidewalk

Ever dream of sharing your original poetry with the masses? Well here’s your chance: MSU’s Sidewalk Poetry Project is accepting original poems around the theme Water Moves. Four selected winners will have their poems etched into sidewalks across campus Pretty cool, right?

MSU poetry ?rebrand Nancy DeJoy is the force behind the movement. “By installing poetry written by MSU community members on our sidewalks, we will enhance our appreciation of the campus in new ways.

It’s an  honor to offer this unique opportunity which acknowledges the importance of poetry in all of our lives—as we work together to make our campus itself a canvas for the arts.
