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!

A PLACE OF LANDING

I
AM
Layman Lei
As a Laureate Poet of EB1-A
On 11/11/22, at the age of 73
I landed in Seattle, the Land of Liberty
A poetic city soaked in maple trees
This is my permanent home
And will be my grave
Dream in poetry
Write for liberty
