This photograph of Ezekiel's statue of Poe shows it as it appeared in Wyman Park. In 1983, it was moved to the plaza of the law school of the University of Baltimore. Poe's left hand is raised to draw attention to the artist's intention that Poe was listening to ethereal music. In its new home, the Poe statue has been embraced as a sort of school mascot.
Students have their pictures taken with the statue.
A flower may often be found in the statue's lapel and, on special occasions, one hand holds a helium balloon.
