Utrecht, Italy

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, with the intent to continue for as long as there are Saturdays. It takes about

three years to publish an average sentence. Every year the poem grows by about five meters. Every few years another poet extends the poem.
