Ada Limón, the nation’s 24th Poet Laureate, will launch her new art installation project, created in partnership with the Library of Congress, the Poetry Society of America, and the National Park Service. “You Are Here” transforms American poems into works of public art which will be installed in parks across the country. This location features “Never Alone” by Francisco X. Alarcón. This initiative will help all park visitors form deeper connections to the natural world through poetry and the arts.
