About the Book
In recent years, our poetic landscape has evolved in profound and exciting ways. So has our planet. Edited and introduced by the twenty-fourth Poet Laureate of the United States, Ada Limón, this book challenges what we think we know about  nature poetry,  illuminating the myriad ways our landscapes--both literal and literary-are changing. “You Are Here” features fifty previously unpublished poems from some of the nation's most accomplished poets, including Joy Harjo, Diane Seuss, Rigoberto González, Jericho Brown, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Paul Tran, and more. Each poem engages with its author's local landscape--be it the breathtaking variety of flora in a national park, or a lone tree flowering persistently by a bus stop-offering an intimate model of how we relate to the world around us and a beautifully diverse range of voices from across the United States. Joyful and provocative, wondrous and urgent, this singular collection of poems offers a lyrical reimagining of what  nature  and  poetry  are today, inviting listeners to experience both anew. About Ada Limón: Ada Limón is the author of six books of poetry, including “The Carrying,” which won the National Book Critics Circle Award. Her book “Bright Dead Things” was nominated for the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award. Her most recent book of poetry, “The Hurting Kind,” was shortlisted for the Griffin Poetry Prize. She is also the author of two children’s books: “In Praise of Mystery,” with illustrations by Peter Sís; and “And, Too, The Fox,” which will be released in 2025. In October of 2023 she was awarded a MacArthur  Genius  Fellowship, and she was named a TIME magazine woman of the year in 2024. She is the recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship and wrote a poem that was engraved on NASA's Europa Clipper Spacecraft. It was launched to the second moon of Jupiter in October 2024. As the 24th Poet Laureate of The United States, her signature project is called “You Are Here” and focuses on how poetry can help connect us to the natural world. She will serve as Poet Laureate until the spring of 2025. About Seattle Reads: Seattle Reads is a city-wide book group, where people are encouraged to read and discuss the same book.

I got a 3 in 1 ticket for Chihuly Museum + Space Needle + Xmas market that was a great deal.  space needle has been renovated and has a glass floors that you can look down. Not for people who are afraid of heights . it was very cold out on the outside circle, but the view was very good. Make sure to check the weather on the online WebCam.

Chihuly Garden and Glass

Elbik

Its an incredible art gallery that showcases the brilliance of Dale Chihuly&rsquo;s work. The vibrant combination of colors and glass creates a mesmerizing experience, truly highlighting the artist&rsquo;s creative genius. The way the gallery is designed, with its dark, minimalist layout, allows the artwork to shine even more, giving each piece its own unique presence.

The Seattle Museum of Flight is located next to Boeing. It is divided into two exhibition areas, indoor and outdoor, and mainly displays Boeing products: from transport aircraft, fighter jets to passenger aircraft. There is also a wax figure of Premier Zhou and Nixon shaking hands, with the background being the Air Force One that Nixon took during his first visit to China in 1972.

The learning atmosphere is great, and it is a good university for studying. The cost-effectiveness of tuition fees can be improved... Children can come here for summer camps to experience the atmosphere of a world-renowned university. The natural scenery here is also great. You can sit on the grass and read quietly under the blue sky on weekends...
