Secret Poems of Boston

May 19, 2016 by Josh Mack

We love the idea of secret messages and stories that are out in the open. In Boston when it rains and your eyes are looking down you might find poetry under your feet as a result of a new project called Raining Poetry. A collaboration of Boston City Hall and Mass Poetry the project uses Rainworks or something like it to make the stenciled poems come to life. The project doesn’t seem to have any location specific elements but it does create another dimension to the rainy day experience of place.
