Ducktown Poetry Trail

VISUAL POETRY EXHIBIT - ATLANTIC CITY’S DUCKTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD, 2020

Murphy Writing, the Noyes Museum of Art of Stockton University, and the Ducktown Community Development Corporation worked on a collaboration in 2020 and placed an open call for poetry.

The goal was to place poetry that speaks to the Black Lives Matter movement or other social justice issues/movements around Atlantic City’s Ducktown neighborhood in a visual way—whether embedded in an object, painted as part of a mural, or something else creative. The visuals include QR codes to lead visitors on a self-guided tour of the exhibit: The Ducktown Poetry Trail.
