Poetry on RTD
Do buses and poetry go together? They do when a partnership between DOCA and RTD places poetry placards on the interior of 800 local buses. It’s a fun chance to encounter poetry on your commute and gives exposure to some of our talented youth poets.
 
Poems by eight youth are currently being featured on the buses. A previous poetry partnership featured work of top professional poets from the Denver area.
