Ronna Bloom and PLANT bring Asphalt Poetry to YouTube
streetpoetry collaboration ronnabloom everyoneisking kingstreettransitpilot

One of PLANT’s most enjoyable collaborations of 2018 was teaming up with poet Ronna Bloom for one of the two Everyone Is King curb lane parklet installations we designed as a complement to the King Street Transit Pilot. For the Asphalt Poetry parklet, we stencilled Ronna’s poem “The City” in foot-high letters onto a 30-metre stretch of urban curb lane. Check out Ronna’s new YouTube video, in which she talks about her interdisciplinary collaborations with PLANT, a filmmaker, an artist, and others … and also explains why, when someone asks her for a poem, she treats it as “an emergency request.”
