Bayfield Poetry Trail

A new project in Bayfield allows residents and visitors to tour the city reading poems at local businesses both to enjoy the verses and win a local prize. It’s called the Bayfield Poetry Trail, and it runs through September 12, offering a chance to read and enjoy poems posted in the windows or glass doors of businesses that agreed to be stops on the trail. It’s another project thought up by Lucy Tyrrell, Bayfield’s poet laureate, and is being carried out with the help of the Bayfield Chamber of Commerce and 22 local businesses.

Visitors and residents can enjoy reading a variety of poems. Record the 22 poem titles on an entry form (available at the Bayfield Library and the Bayfield Chamber of Commerce) by September 12 at 4 p.m. for a chance to win a copy of A is for Apostle Islands (A-Z poetry and art).
