Haiku on 42nd Street was a project to place senryu and haiku by local poets on the marquees of abandoned movie theaters in the Times Square area of New York City. The project was curated by Dee Evetts. The poems of 26 poets were selected and installed in July 1995 and remained in place through the end of the year. The event attracted national media attention at the time, and a collection of color postcards and a book featuring the theater marquees were later published.
