Poetry in Public: Places of Landing

Poems will replace advertising on public transit, enlivening commutes across King County.

Poetry in Public celebrates local voices by featuring poems written by King County residents in shared spaces. This year’s theme, Places of Landing, embraces the poetry of our daily lives. It honors the movements, places, and feelings that tell the stories of our days. Everyone can be a poet!

They say it’s random,
but I know it’s not.
How can my dark hair, dark eyes, and not-so-white skin be random?
How can my accent, last name, and country of birth be random?
My fingerprints are all over the map.
