A Poetry Jukebox, installed at the Ruth Wittenburg Triangle, plays twenty poems in a constant loop, featuring Jane Jacobs, Allen Ginsberg, and Jack Kerouac, among others.

The Poetry Jukebox was conceived by the Czech project Piána na ulici (Pianos on the Street), led by the coffee house owner Ondřej Kobza and cultural manager Michaela Hečková whose mission is to animate public spaces worldwide.
