The metro system in London,widely known as the Tube,is the world’s oldest underground railway.However,it is more than just a transport system.
It is not unusual to see people reading thick books on the tube,crowded at the door during rush hour.But there is another way Londoners enjoy literature on the underground,as poems are scattered around randomly.
The project of the poems has been running since 1986 and poems appear three times a year,six at a time.Two of the poems are always written by living poets.American writer Judith Chernaik,editor and founder of Poems on the Underground,said that most of them are chosen randomly,either from great poets or from unknown enthusiasts of English poetry.
Conceived (构思) by Chernaik,these poems aim to bring poetry to passengers,and show a wide range of styles.They are classical or contemporary,domestic or international.
Love or hate poetry,this project “has proved to be an excellent way of introducing poetry,with passengers often wanting to read more,”according to the government organization Transport for London.“This has led to the publication of a series of ”Poems on the Underground “books,which is now in its 11th edition.”
This new edition contains poems that have been displayed in carriages over the years.The poems are classified into sections such as love,music,nature,war,and loss.
