Poetry in Parks
Ada Limón, the 24th U.S. Poet Laureate, graced the mountain with her presence and her project: You Are Here. Her project focused on a dedicated poem and a picnic table to commemorate the event.
Highlights
Literature in the Landscape
The project introduced poetry as a mode of interpretation, giving visitors a slower, more reflective way to experience the park.
Interpretive Program Adoption
The postcards were adopted into the park's interpretive programs, giving rangers a way to share the poem with visitors.
An Unconventional and Iconic Collaboration
A partnership between the Library of Congress, U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón, and the park, pairing a national poetry project with a national landscape.
