Poetry Park Louis Jacoby was behind the initiative for Larvik's Poetry Park project, which envisioned poems and songs carved in larvikite located around the town of Larvik. The poetry plaques on larvikite are mounted on buildings, walls, and rock faces to form a route through the town, planned from the town center down to Fritzøe Brygge and Hammerdalen, along the seafront to Tollerodden, and out to a possible new ferry at Revet. The goal was to install 100 plaques by 2012. The project received unanimous support in Larvik's town council. The Norway Arts Council initially allocated NOK 150,000 for the Larvik Poetry Park after the application was handled by its literature committee.
