It’s a new year and I’m feeling a bit sentimental about DC.  So, this week for “poetry Friday” lets take a walking tour of DC’s poetry history.  The Poetry Foundation put together an audio tour you can download (complete with maps and photos).  If the weather turns nice I’m planning to make the walk.  But it’s also nice to watch the video– inside where it’s warm– and remember standing under the Capitol dome or quiet mornings at Busboys & Poets.

From the Poetry Foundation’s website:

The Washington, DC Poetry Tour reveals our nation’s capital through the eyes of its great poets, including Archibald MacLeish, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and Elizabeth Bishop, among many others. From the hallowed halls of the federal buildings to neighborhood side streets, the tour features poems written in and about DC, as well as photographs by poet Thomas Sayers Ellis.
