On the sign:
Those of you, lost and yearning to be free,
who hear these words, take heart from me.
I was once in as many drafts as you.
But briefly, essentially, here I am....
Who touches this poem touches a woman.

Julia Alvarez (1950- ), “33”

[Gregg LeFevre Signature]

Comments:
The Library Walk, is a venture launched in 1996 by the New York Public Library, Grand Central Partnership and New Yorker Magazine, in which are embedded in bronze plaques quotes from well-known books, or those dealing with books and literature. The panels designed by artist Gregg LeFevre were laid in 1998 from the New York Public Library building along 41st Street.

A plaque shows an excerpt from the song "33" by the American poet Julia Alvarez. A song containing 33 sonatas that she wrote at the age of 33.

A month before the plate was photographed, an attempt was made to photograph it, but as you can see, the plate was on a renovation site, so it was not possible to photograph it. The attached photo was taken by the same photographer Click for a larger image
