The writing’s on the wall: come see the new Rob Carney chalk mural

At Provo Poetry, we love seeing words take shape in our surroundings. With the help of Claire Hart, Art Director in the Advertising Emphasis of BYU’s Communications major, Rob Carney’s poem, “She’s Like the Sky. That Endlessly Beautiful.” now lives in chalk at the popular BYU eatery/hangout spot appropriately named The Wall.

Take a look at some pics of the finished product. But, of course, something like this needs to be seen in person to be enjoyed fully.
