ESSAY: The Blue Poplar, By: Kyle Feneran — The Blue Poplar, designed by the artist Sean Huntington is my favorite. It takes me back to when I was walking in the woods on a cold night. I felt the cold air blowing on me, and I heard deer rustling around me. I love walking in the woods and the Blue Poplar reminds me of walking in the woods.
