I don’t understand. If the poetry were a tribute to a well known local poet, someone in the arts as notable as Demuth, possibly. This project is a result of the efforts of the art community, a vigorous supporter of Mayor Grey, whose wife is an artist. Such a project is suitable for a major city, with wide sidewalks and sweeping expanses of common ground where artists can show art for art’s sake.
Why don’t the parties involved take the grant money and beautify Long’s Park which is in need of some TLC.
These busy bodies who “happen” upon Lancaster County (some hold public office} and then try to change, “enhance”, and in general destroy what makes this Lancaster need to find another spot to roost. I, for one, have HAD IT!!!!
This is not a poem; it is a dictionary definition of insipid, incarnate….. in bronze.
