POETRY BROOKLINE
Interactive Poetry Map
The Poetry Brookline program that was developed by Judith Steinbergh, Brookline's Poet Laureate, produced a wealth of work created by the Brookline community from the ages of 8 to 80 and beyond.  

Judith, in collaboration with Feng Yang in the IT Dept of town hall, created a wonderful interactive map of Brookline to show the locations that some of the poems were written about..  To visit the Brookline Poetry Map please click here then click on the icons along the bottom to visit various sites.  You can then enlarge each poem by clicking on the poem itself.
