Global Vaccine Poems

Dear Colleagues,

Please circulate and consider participating in this initiative we are launching at the University of Arizona's College of Humanities thanks to the brilliant Tyler Meier, Executive Director of our Poetry Center and our creative staff at Poetry Center<https://poetry.arizona.edu/>, COH Marketing, and National Center for Interpretation (NCI)<https://nci.arizona.edu/> in collaboration with Kent State University's Wick Poetry Center<https://www.kent.edu/wick>.

Thank you as well for support from U of Arizona's President Robbins and Provost Folks.

The Global Vaccine Poem invites everyone to share their voices. April is National Poetry Month and we are teaming with Kent State's Wick Poetry Center to promote COVID-19 vaccination through the imaginative language of poetry. We are especially interested in multilingual contributions:
