The Olympics of poetry

One of the cooler things that goes along with the Olympics is the festival of culture that accompanies it.  The Salt Lake City "cultural Olympics" included an installation of glass sculptures that we toured in 2002.  In London, there is a focus on poetry.  Here is an interactive map of poetry from every country in the Olympics:

Here are some photos of poetry installations around the city:
