Poetry in Public: Places of Landing

Poetry in Public brings communities together through the written word, celebrating local voices by featuring poems written by King County residents in shared spaces.

Our 2023-2025 theme, Places of Landing, embraces the poetry of our daily lives by honoring the movements, places, and feelings that tell the stories of our days. Everyone can be a poet!

Tomorrow Is Another Country

my flight leaves at four
bags are packed
medicine + id card in hand
when i get there and check into the
future i must not forget that i am new
here
and remember to lock the door/s of the past
[but keep the keys in case of emergency]
the people and the places will be
familiar in a new way
tomorrow is my home
