Sidewalk Poetry

A street party is underway in St. Paul, MN, to celebrate a collection of poems by local residents that's been published on paper—and in cement. The city has been implanting poems penned by St. Paulites in freshly poured sidewalks all over town. The public art project is designed to engage residents' artistic impulses and bring more poetry into everyday life.
