Poems About Walls

The Walls Symposium defines "wall" in the broadest possible sense. Not only physical walls but also metaphysical and metaphorical walls. Borders, fences, hedges, edges, limits, divisions. Where there are walls there are also gates, doors and windows. Walls can be built, torn down, climbed, breached. People can be inside the wall, outside the wall, on the wall, against the wall, driven up the wall. Walls can divide; walls can protect.

To help us think more deeply about walls, we have collected 47 poems about walls. You can download them in pdf format: cool, huh?
