Join 24th U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón for the national kick off of “You Are Here: Poetry in Parks.” This initiative will feature site-specific poetry installations in seven national parks across the country, beginning with the Cape Cod National Seashore. During the free public celebration at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Ada Limón will read each poem featured as part of the project. She will then sign copies of the new anthology You Are Here: Poetry in the National World.
You Are Here: Poetry in Parks is a partnership between the Library of Congress, National Park Service, and Poetry Society of America. Hosted by the Fine Arts Work Center.
