NPM 2020 - Armchair Traveler

For my 2020 National Poetry Month project, the plan had been to focus on poems about math and numbers. However, with the arrival of COVID and the requirement to stay home, I decided that a bit of armchair traveling through poetry was a better idea. Each poem in this project was inspired by a photo of a place I have visited.
