The poem is your message

When walking through Rotterdam, you will often see one pass by: a garbage truck with a line of poetry and the name of a poet embossed on the side. The decades-long collaboration between Poetry International and the municipality of Rotterdam has brought forth a lot of beautiful poetry on garbage trucks, written by poets from every continent. Now you will receive the chance to have your work immortalized! On June 14th, write your line on the side of a special truck and sign up for the competition. Who knows, your poetry might be driven through the streets of Rotterdam soon!
