Comments:
Berklee’s poetry Walk was laid in October 2003 along Edison Street between Shattuck and Milvia Streets. The route includes 128 metal plates with excerpts from songs, each of which is related in one way or another to the city of Berkeley.

In the plaque there is an excerpt from the play "Our Town" written by the American playwright and author Thornton Wilder (1897-1975) who grew up as a child in Berkeley, and attended high school in that city.
Wilder won three Pulitzer Prizes, one of which is for the play "Our Town"
