ARC Poetry Walks
Approached by Canada’s Arc Poetry Magazine, with a grant from the Community Foundation, rob mclennan created four, hour-long literary walks – Arc Poetry Walks – that take participants on a tour of several Ottawa neighborhoods, each featuring poetry-related sites. Following each IRL event, mclennan posted the text from the walk on his blog along with photos and related links. Above/Ground Press created a broadside “poem handout” for each event. A great resource for those interested in learning more about Ottawa literary culture/history, and a helpful blueprint for others who might be interested in replicating this kind of event.
