Writers in the Mountains (WIM) will present Raining Poetry in Roxbury 2017, a public street art project, on the sidewalks of Roxbury: twenty poems written by local poets will be stenciled on sidewalks using a biodegradable water-repellent spray visible only when wet. Water the streets and read the poems! An open-air reception will follow at 3:00 pm in front of Roxbury General. Sponsored by Writers in the Mountains, is made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) Decentralization Grant Program.
