Although officially known as the Saint Paul Cultural Garden, the downtown riverbluff site (@ Kellogg & Robert) is commonly known as the "poetry garden." The result of three visual artists (led by "public artist" Cliff Garten) and five poets, the site which opened November 1993 is a remarkable blend of visual, verbal, and natural art forms celebrating the river, local histories, and language itself . . . Funded by the Saint Paul Foundation and administered by Public Art Saint Paul, the land (donated by the City of Saint Paul) has room for a 4- or 5-fold expansion of the garden. Best, Jim
