Love Poems to the City

marketstposter-640

WritersCorps is proud to present a series of posters on San Francisco’s Market Street featuring writing by three of our students. “Love Poems to the City by San Francisco Youth” will be on display at Muni bus shelters from November 2011 to June 2012. Featuring poems by youth ages 16 to 20, the posters were designed by San Francisco-based graphic designer Adrienne Aquino.

See all of the posters here.

We are also producing a limited-edition card set based on the poster series. All proceeds from the sale of the cards and our other products go towards our free student programming. See them in our store here.
