The London Arts Council (whose generous support allows the slam continue to exist!)  is on the hunt for great poems written by London poets to be placed on LTC busses as part of their Poetry In Motion program.

Poetry in Motion was first developed in 1992 to make the use of New York City public transportation more enjoyable and enlightening…The program was originally based on the British Council program Poems on the Underground, and was launched to reach the nearly 7 million daily commuters of New York City.
