A year-long residency took place in Mowbray park as part of the Poetry Society’s Poetry in Public Spaces scheme in 1999. The Heritage Lottery-funded refurbishment of Mowbray park incorporated several text pieces by poet Linda France and sculptor Alec Peever. This work frames the Jack Crawford Monument as you sit in a certain point and look at the artwork the lines of text align and frames the view of the Jack Crawford monument.

How does this art make you feel?
There's two different meanings you can bring to it - I'm a Christian so it speaks to me on that level too.
