“And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.” — John Muir

Installed in 2025, the Poetry Tree at Caponi Art Park invites visitors to pause, reflect, and create. Nestled among the trails, the tree offers a quiet space to connect with nature and with words. Look for the Poetry Tree as you explore the park, read the poems that others have shared, and add your own reflections. Every contribution becomes part of a living collection, a growing tapestry of voices inspired by the natural beauty around us. Whether you write, read, or simply pause to enjoy the words, the Poetry Tree is a place to slow down, be creative, and share a piece of yourself with the community.
