A Poem From Us

A Poem From Us is a website featuring regular people, reading their favorite poems. The project's goal is a simple one: use technology to help folks share their love of poetry with others.

The project can be viewed here: http://apoemfromus.com/

People can participate in one of two ways:

Online, they can record themselves and submit the video to the website.

Offline, they can request a set of free stickers which feature the project logo and a custom QR code. When these stickers are scanned by passers-by, a random video from the project website will play on the user's mobile device. Think of it as a kind of a "found poem" for the digital age.

This project was realized through a generous grant from the Chicago Awesome Foundation (an organization that gives micro-grants of $1,000 each month, to projects they deem awesome).
