Submit your poem to the SLU Poetry Walk!

Published: 02 April 2025

For the third year running the SLU University Library arranges a poetry walk in Alnarp and Uppsala, and this year we would like to include poems by people who work or study at SLU!

Between 12 May and 23 May the library will put up a number of poems in the Knowledge Garden and the Alnarp Park for you to peruse at your leisure! This year we would love to include contributions from the staff and students of SLU!

Of course you will keep all rights to your work, but by submitting your poem you grant the SLU University Library the right to display it during the Poetry Walk.

Rules

  • All contributors must be either a student or staff at SLU.
  • You must be the author of your contribution.
  • The poem may be in English or in Swedish.
  • You may submit several poems.

Your poem must be no longer than can fit on an A3, with a font size of 30 (minimum 24), with plenty of space left over in the header and footer. This is because visitors should be able to read the poem from a distance.

We cannot guarantee that we will have space to display all poems along the poetry walk. Submitted poems that do not fit will be printed and available for reading in the libraries in each location.

Log in with your AD or student account to submit your poem, by 20 April.


We look forward to your contribution!
