Webster Woods – Poetry In Time

Art Stroll Through Port Angeles Fine Arts Center’s Webster Woods Sculpture Garden

Last week I had the opportunity to stroll the more accessible, gradual gravel path in Webster Woods, which offers a dramatic view toward the Strait. I encountered some beautiful large works in the open air exhibit.

Among them was my 2025 Poetry in the Park placard, “Varied Ixoreus Thrush,” as part of “Summer Music.” You may listen to my reading of this poem on the PAFAC website.

The Chroma Zone by Jennifer Kapnek

A rock providing intelligent prose! When asking, “Who am I, What Should I do?,” perhaps we look to what we love!

A rock painted with a saying: Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground. -Rumi

Rock artist unknown.

The Port Angeles Fine Arts Center and Olympic Peninsula Authors selected this poem of mine for their “Under the Canopy” 2023 Poetry in the Park outdoor exhibit in Webster Woods.

The actual tree I lean against and call “Charlie.”
