Radical Pie is getting impatient with the public's lack of interest in poetry. To combat this trend, the blog is taking suggestions and compiling a list of possible local actions to raise poetry awareness. Here are a few examples:
1. Street readings in groups: spontaneously read in bars, coffeeshops, galleries, libraries, restaurants, corporate offices, ATM & bank teller lines, book stores, churches, schools, parks, driving down the street.
10. Poetry goes well with sax or guitar; it could even go with juggling. Experiment.
21. Read a poem on the morning bus or subway, on your way to work.
31. Carry a sign that says "Free Poems," "Poetry Counselor," "Need a lift? Try poetry," "Got poetry?" or "Find What You Love and Do It." Read a poem to anyone who asks.
41. Little milk cartons with a label that says "got poetry?" Print poems on the outside. Inside put cutout words from magazines and newspapers. Put instructions on the carton to make poems out of them. Give the cartons away for free to passersby, on the bus, to homeless people, to drivers in rush hour.
Here's one PoF can offer:
wear trucker hats printed with poetry.
