5. POETRY BROOKLINE: Poetry Brookline is a new project that invites you to create and submit poems, songs, and art about Brookline places or people. Judy Steinbergh, Brookline poet laureate, will be collecting works, by and for those of every age who live, learn, work or play in Brookline, to display on posters and broadsheets around town, and hopefully to culminate in a Poetry Map of Brookline designed as a mural.
