Translink Launches Poetry in Motion Campaign in Partnership with Ulster University.
Translink, in collaboration with Ulster University, have launched Poetry in Motion. A poetry campaign encouraging passengers to share their poems celebrating the rich literary and connections between people, places and things across the country.
Poetry in Motion will see a series of events, poets in residence on Translink bus and train routes, and other events hosted across Northern Ireland as well as an open submission for aspiring poets to submit poems which capture the connections made possible through bus and rail travel.
Translink and Ulster University are inviting passengers to participate in the Poetry in Motion campaign, celebrating the life connections made possible by public transport. Whether you travel by train, Metro, Urby, Foyle Metro, Glider, Ulsterbus, or Goldliner, Translink and Ulster University are encouraging you to share your poems which highlight the connections made possible through public transport.
Submissions should focus on themes such as education, economy, environment, health, and community. These connections could relate to family and friends, work and services, events or key life moments, communities, our planet, or self-reflection. A selection of poems will be featured in a special poetry booklet to be launched in the Autumn.
