“With eyes closed, and dreams awake” is one of many lines of poetry daubed in public places by students from El Salto’s Preparatoria Regional as part of the Accion Poetica Jalisco project.
So far more than 130 poems, all written by students from the high school have been painted on walls and fences in El Salto, Zapopan, Juanacatlan, Tlajomulco and Ixtlahuacan de los Membrillos. The aim of the project is to encourage young people to study poetry and liven up public spaces with a more positive alternative to graffiti.
