The increasingly popular poetry boxes have created quite a buzz in downtown Covington – new boxes are popping up everywhere! In addition to the boxes on Lee Lane at The English Tea Room’s Walker Alley Tea Garden, the Trace in front of Brooks’ Bike Shop and at Tripolo Gallery, poetry boxes are now at Center of Performing Arts, St. John’s Coffeehouse, the St. Tammany Art Association, Our Place Studio, and at the location of the Covington Farmer’s Market. All boxes contain local poetry, and many have been decorated by local artists. Please send submissions & requests for boxes to:  covweekly@media9productions.com
