2000 Poetry on Buses Competition
 The theme of 2000's Poetry Bus Project was "Travelers Journal: Written Discoveries." Poets were asked to create poems in which they were the traveller, revealing their discoveries and writing to another to tell their tale. The journey is documented in words - letting us know where they are going, where they have been and what they have seen. Accompanying each poem is a short biographical statement by the poet.
Graphic designer Tomas Suarez created a strong visual identity for the Poetry Bus cards and printed collection.
