The Letters of Utrecht
The Letters of Utrecht (Dutch: De Letters van Utrecht) form an endless poem in the stones of a street in the center of the Dutch city of Utrecht. Every Saturday at 13:00, the next letter is hewn into the next cobblestone. It takes several years to publish an average sentence. Every few years another member of Utrechts' guild of poets extends the poem. The poem was started on June 2, 2012 and Utrecht's mayor, Aleid Wolfsen, contributed the first letter hewn at the opening. To predate the beginning of the poem to January 1, 2000, the city works department had previously laid 648 stones with the letters of the contributions of five poets into the street. Since the opening, characters have been hewn into subsequent stones every Saturday and since early 2013 Mark Boog has continued the poem as
