public art poems

From poems chosen by the Bainbridge Island Arts & Humanities Council shown in storefronts during National Poetry Month and poetry banners hanging in the Bainbridge Island Ferry Terminal, to collaborations with a Southern California sculpture artist, i have been honored to have my work seen in new and exciting ways by folks i may never have otherwise reached.
