Presented by the Downtown Tucson Partnership and University of Arizona Poetry Center, the 6th Annual Haiku Hike is still up through the end of the month, with inspiring poems on the theme of Belonging tucked into beautiful spring planters. Haiku were selected by Tucson's Poet Laureate, TC Tolbert. Download a printable map here.
