POETRY BOXES in the Wild!!

Poetry Boxes were installed at valley of Rocks in the summer of 2014 and at Tarr Steps for the summer of 2015.

Poetry Boxes at Tarr Steps

 

When books were left in the six tins at Valley of Rocks we thought we might get a few contributions but by the end of the three summer months we had over 2000! This year the boxes were located in the heart of Exmoor at Tarr Steps and byt close of August we had another little library of 1900 poems all written by strangers just passing through!

 

For the summer of 2016 we are hoping to locate the boxes in Dunster, (top secret!) but where abouts in the village will be the best place to harvest? Why not get in touch through the Storywalks twitter and give your suggestions.
