in River North this weekend to check out the new building and hear a talk by architect John Ronan. The building has already gotten a good deal of praise, and it deserves it. It's a thoughtful, thought-provoking structure that truly suits its function. Nothing about Ronan's building is quite as simple or straightforward as it seems at first glance. Approached from the west on Erie Street, or from the south on Dearborn, pedestrians might mistake it for a garage because of the dark screen, but an opening at the intersection reveals an inviting courtyard filled with young trees and moss that eventually leads to the building's entrance.from Chicago Curbed: John Ronan's New Poetry Foundation Unfolds Like, Well . . . a Poem
