Poet Laureate Park

For those of you who have been wondering about Poet Laureate Park and have visited or haven't yet visited, there's a new exhibit about Poet Laureate Park at Arcade Library on Marconi in Sacramento. The display went up for National Poetry Month and features images from the installation days, from events that have been held there, and images of each of the poem sculptures as well as a news article and tri-folds from poetry readings featuring Sacramento and Davis Poets Laureate. The exhibit is up through April 30.

Poet Laureate Park is on the move and touring the land. Well, it is doing the touring via displays of installation day photos, completed sculpture photos, and events like the Children's Day Event and visits by poets like Yuyutsu Sharma and others. You can view the display during the month of April at Arcade Library on Marconi in Sacramento. The poems of Viola Weinberg, Dennis Schmitz, Jose Montoya, Julia Connor, Bob Stanley, and Jeff Knorr are also included (these are th...e full poems excerpted for the sculptures). Also, a news article about Poet Laureate Park is on display. Enjoy your visit, check out the rose garden, and stop by Ms. T's Good to Go Cafe for some delicious handcrafted baked goods.

This fall will focus on poetry in Poet Laureate Park. Look for pop up readings, discussions, writing sessions, and much more. All free and open to any age and poetry skill. Stay tuned for details. The fun returns in late September!

Did you hear about the historic gathering of California Poets Laureate on October 6, 2018?

Have you visited this wonderful park and tribute to Sacramento's Poets Laureate recently? Fall is right around the corner and that is a marvelous time to sit at the base of some of these poems and read a poem, write a poem, or just enjoy the day.
