Love Poems
For Your City.

What happens when you invite an entire city to write a love letter to itself?

BRING SONNETBOOM! TO YOUR CITY

SonnetBOOM! is a citywide poetry contest that celebrates city-based belonging, identity, resilience, and hope through the power of personal expression.

Residents of all ages are invited to write poems inspired by the cities they call home – the neighborhoods they grew up in, the people who shaped them, the memories they carry, and the future they imagine.

Michael Ivory, 

Poet, Winner of SonnetBOOM!

“It’s through art that we know who we are and what matters to us. Having events like this where a community can come together and really enjoy and embrace the arts, it’s invaluable.”

What We’ve Learned

Personal stories build
collective identity.

Every city is full of
stories waiting to be
told.

Poetry gives space for
diverse voices.

Art is a powerful form
of civic participation.
