Guess Where: Hart Crane statue

Feb. 6, 2017 Guess Where photoIn this week’s Guess Where, we shared a photo of the statue of poet Hart Crane outside Kelvin Smith Library.

Many correctly guessed that the statue stands outside the library, but few named Crane.

Created by sculptor William McVey, the statue is part of the Putnam Collection. Three plaques offering excerpts of Crane’s works accompany the statue.

SAGES instructor Dave Lucas recently talked with Think magazine about the statue’s importance to him.
