The Scott and Hella McVay Poetry Trail was dedicated at Princeton’s Greenway Meadows Park in October 2010 on a glorious autumn afternoon with friends and family in attendance. The Poetry Trail includes 48 poems chosen on the subject of truth in nature, written by poets from around the globe, including Chile, China, England, Germany, Poland, and the United States. The diverse poetry selections stir curiosity about the joy of language and poetry in people of all ages.
