Beverly Regional Airport, Hangar #3

Improbable Places Poetry Tour
Boarding began at 6:30pm on October 22, 2024 in the main terminal of BVY. Passengers were directed to Hangar #3 for the reading in the glow of a site-based projection, really a visual poem for the space, by Liz Nofziger. The event was free and open to the public.
Started in 2010 by Colleen Michaels, the Improbable Places Poetry Tour has traveled from bike shops to power plants, and from tattoo parlors to Viking ships, with a line-up of poets each reading one poem. Culled from an open call, the public was asked:
“Do you have a travel or airport poem? A poem about flight or wingspan? We want your turbulent tercets from the middle seat and your sonnets skywritten in vapor. We want your red-eyes and your puddle jumpers. Please, someone send a poem as a safety card or a passport. Send the poem that hits like oxygen dropped from the overhead compartment.”
