Planting Poetry

Planting Poetry is a set of colorful typographic sculptures for the garden. The poems are mesostics, a “poem or other typography such that a vertical phrase intersects lines of horizontal text. It is similar to an acrostic, but with the vertical phrase intersecting the middle of the line, as opposed to beginning each new line.” These structures are a collaboration between Burgess Studios and Misinstry of Stories, a charity in the UK that promotes creative writing for young people.
Burgess Studio has a nice slide show of some of the signs as well as photos of how they made them.
