Speakers set in acoustic chairs in the plaza play recordings of poetry curated by Rios that reflect the community and local landscape. Four trellises spanning the path between the library and canal feature cut-out letters that cast poems in shadows along the path. The project was commissioned jointly by the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture Public Art Program and the Maricopa County Community College District.<br></p><h2>"Baseline Blooms"</h2><p>"Baseline Blooms" is a collaborative community poem compiled by Arizona poet Alberto Rios. More than 30 community members of all ages submitted a few words, a line, phrase, short memory or observation about South Mountain communities, including Phoenix and Laveen. The poem was presented at the library's one-year anniversary celebration on September 29, 2012.<br></p></div></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div><br></div> | | |
