Mapping Toronto Through Its Poetry

Poets often infuse the sights, sounds, smells, and feels of their hometown into their verses. That's true of lyricists old and new; the rapper Drake often features Toronto in his rhymes, for instance, and he's not the only poet to use that city as a muse.

Now, the Toronto Public Library and Canadian poet laureate George Elliot Clarke have designed an interactive map that lets you explore the city's geography through other poems that mention the city.
