Intimate microcosms, incidental gatherings of diverse denizens, paradoxes that define and transcend the spaces between communities: apt descriptions both of poems and of buses.
Over five years of Poetry in Motion (2019 through 2023), 50 poems by Nova Scotians have ridden Halifax Transit alongside commuters—beckoning, enticing, and cajoling them to put down their phones and enjoy, for a moment, the power of words. Now these poems are gathered, more portable than ever, and just for you!
