Get to Know Traveling Stanzas

The Wick Poetry Center at Kent State University, home to the award-winning Traveling Stanzas project, is one of the premier university poetry centers in the country. It is a national leader for the range, quality and innovative outreach in the community.

The mission of Traveling Stanzas is to bring poetry to everyday lives by fostering meaningful conversations and encouraging new voices. The program offers people moments of pause to slow down and reflect on their lives, their communities, and to participate in a shared creative experience

Currently, Traveling Stanzas is offering a multitude of ways to engage with their interactive poetry, either through reading or submitting your own stanzas.
