Create an erasure poem using the Traveling Stanzas Emerge App.
In the Emerge Library, you will find diverse texts and documents chosen to reflect different aspects of grief and praise within the context of the pandemic and our collective journey through this time. Explore these voices—from Sojourner Truth to Vincent Van Gogh—and create your own erasure poem or poems.
Contribute to a growing community poem using the Thread App.
Traveling Stanzas community arts projects bring poetry to people’s everyday lives through innovative methods and digital platforms.
