<font class="Apple-style-span" color="#2f4f4f">The term ‘plague’ is described as the widespread influx or outbreak of a highly infectious, usually fatal, epidemic disease. The PPP is a marketing strategy that exists to bring the poetry of the underground and small press poets of the world to the mainstream. To do this, our project seeks the help of volunteers internationally, known as <em style="position: relative; ">Carriers</em>, to employ guerilla-art tactics to ‘spread the word’ of our Poets around the world. The PPP involves planting poetry in unexpected places to be found by unsuspecting readers, creating publishing opportunities where none currently exist.<br>
</font><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#6a5acd"><br>
<font><strong>Poetry for the <strong>POETIC PLAGUE PROJECT</strong> is published in one way:</strong></font><br>
<font><strong>NANO TUBES:</strong></font></font><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#ffffff"> </font><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#2f4f4f">Poetry is printed on small strips of paper and rolled up into 3/8" x 1 ½ water-proof, dust-proof plastic tubes. The strips are cut from 8.5x11 piece of Wausau<strong> Brand</strong> 'Planetary Purple' computer paper. The strip of paper will include your poem and name, the PPP circular germ logo, and the sentence, "Spread the word!," with a website link to this page.<strong> </strong></font><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#ffffff"><span></span></font><strong style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "><span><font color="#6633FF">Text will be printed with a size 3, Arial font; the work is intended to be read with a magnify glass.
