Map of Bowling Green Poetry

Launched in early 2022, during a time when others often tout social isolation and sometimes even division, Penned To Pin On Bowling Green showcases the creative fiber which can hold a community together.  We pin your poem to a map of our community, so others can visit the location which inspired your poem

Penned To Pin On Bowling Green publishes poems on a rolling, year-round basis. You submit during specific seasonal windows for the chance to add your poetry to the hundreds of poems we’ve collected so far.  These poems are meant to represent a diverse range of authors with varying experience-levels and connections to Bowling Green. 

Most of the poems are inspired by specific locations in Bowling Green, others are about experiences in Bowling Green, and still others are about the general mood or vibe of Bowling Green. By clicking on the various “pins” below, you can read any poem and get a sense of the deep love for this community and the creative power of  the people who reside in it — as well as the impact Bowling Green has had on many of you who fell in love with us as you passed through our city on the way to somewhere else. 

Whether you are a lifelong Bowling Gregorian (Bowling Greenian?) or just hold a place for us in your heart, we hope you will submit a poem to Penned To Pin On Bowling Green today!
