Poetry on the Streets of St. Tammany is a fast-growing living arts project with roots right here in Covington. Poetry boxes have been installed at several locations in Covington, Mandeville & Abita Springs, all locally crafted and many embellished by local artists. Recently a large selection of works by area students was submitted by Ms. Ellen Steigman, an English Teacher at Fontainebleau High School & sponsor of their FHS Writes! Group. These works will be on display in all Covington poetry boxes.

Check the Facebook page “Poetry on the Streets of St. Tammany” for more info on the poetry boxes.
