Album: You Are Here: Poetry in Parks

NPS-wide

The You Are Here: Poetry in Parks initiative resulted in the installation of poetry on picnic tables in seven national parks. As public works of art, the picnic tables each feature a historic American poem selected by the 24th U.S. National Poet Laureate, Ada Limón. Limón selected the poems to encourage visitors to pay deeper attention to their surroundings. Limón traveled to each of the parks in 2024 and early 2025 to unveil the installations. go.nps.gov/poetryinparks
