Spoke Cards

POETRY SPOKE CARDS - A spoke card is a printed card suspended in the spokes of a bicycle wheel to identify the cyclist’s participation in a street race. This unlikely platform has previously been used to display small works from art to political endorsements. For O, Miami Poetry Festival 2014, spoke cards display poems.

Award-winning designer Gabriele Wilson works with poets Brett Fletcher Lauer and Elsbeth Pancrazi to create spoke cards printed with poetry, which are distributed for free at O, Miami events and through local bike shops and participating cycling groups.

The cards are a badge to identify poetry lovers, as well as an eye-catching and unexpected encounter with poetry.
