This mural is located at 1531 West Girard Ave. It was completed on October 1,2004.  It is called "A Celebration of Poetry." Presta honores al viaje del poeta afroamericano.  Mural Arts Philadelphia stated "Beginning in Africa, the central placement of two strong women – one pouring water into the ground, and the second playing a musical instrument – starts the poet’s path. The trek winds on through the cotton fields of America, and then rises to the corner where blues and jazz musicians are playing. The journey culminates in the present day with a poetry reading, inviting passersby to sit and listen for a while. Woven within the vibrant colors are phrases from six different poets, highlighting both the imagery and the words that are so important to a poet’s life."

Disfruto este mural porque es colorido y tiene un profundo significado.También me gusta la piel azul de las mujeres. Lo encuentro único. La idea de la historia y las raíces es algo de lo que realmente disfruto hablando
