Start taking part in the project.

With a thick layer of squishy snow drowning our late April, it’s a little hard to get in the right mindset for an outdoor poetry project. I can’t remember what my favorite places in the Twin Cities look like without a thick layer of white covering everything. Maybe you can help me. I’ll be doing a series of questions for this project, and you can call the contributions number (612) 208-POEM (7636) with your answer (up to 3 minutes worth) and I’ll publish some of your answers here.

This week’s question is “What are your favorite places in Minneapolis and Saint Paul?” Please start with your name and where you’re from, and then describe your favorite locations in the Twin Cities and why they’re your favorites.

Here’s what you might sound like. (Or, actually, what I sound like.) This was 14 seconds worth, so you have about 12 times as long to tell us a good story.
