ABOUT
Baltimore Is Reads is an Outdoor Poetry journal founded by Publishing Genius in 2006. Today it functions in partnership with Nashville Is Reads, curated by Keyhole Publications.

The Outdoor Journals feature poetry broadsides posted in various locations around Baltimore and Nashville. Typical spots to find a page include light posts, abandoned buildings, shopping carts, bus benches, bulletin boards, public restrooms, and so on. It is the contention of the Outdoor Journal that being read outside changes the experience — confuses the reading and makes it deliberate.
