Visions of A City Yet to Be—Public Art as Cultural Renewal
England-born and New York City-based artist Rebecca Locke is thankful to come from a place that has inspired her work—a faded seaside resort for which she has great affection.

By: Anita Kobayashi As a writer, grappling with the writing process every day, I often come across comments like this, “…the work itself – the practice of the craft of writing – must be its own reward”(Dennis Palumbo, Writing from the Inside Out, 53).
