Poetry in the Park 

Poetry in the Park adds a rich literary facet to the magic of Webster’s Woods! Through a collaboration with the Olympic Peninsula Authors group, new original poems are selected each year as a part of our Summertide outdoor exhibition. The poems are located on signboards and installed throughout the park. Alongside the text of each poem, visitors will find a QR code that leads to this page, where a recording of each poem can be found.

Whether you choose to wander and discover the poems organically, or to check out an updated park map for a self-guided tour, we hope these compositions add a new dimension to your enjoyment of the park. The poetry signs from last year's Poetry in the Park has been relocated. You can now enjoy the 2021 Poetry signs in Erickson Park and Quinn Redlin-Kitner Memorial Park in Port Angeles!
