Poetry in Motion

By Linda Tancs

Poetry enjoys a special place in the history of Madison, Wisconsin. For one thing, the city reportedly was one of the first in the nation to appoint a poet laureate. Events and open mics abound, as does poetry on buses. Even the sidewalks sport poetic bursts. Prime locales include Monroe Street, Atwood Avenue and in the Marquette neighborhood.
