After a multi-year renovation project, the Folger will re-open this summer and visitors will find a brand new poem by Rita Dove inscribed on a berm, a “continuous border of marble that wraps around the West garden walkway. Our Poetics challenge is to write a poem, as Dove was commissioned to do, for a walled entrance that addresses and welcomes visitors into a space of your choosing.

Come in, all you fresh inquisitive minds, and free your imagination to accomplish your dreams.
