Indian Creek Poetry Walk

Elaine Kirby’s poem “Mt. Hood,” a selection for the second annual Indian Creek Poetry Walk, sits beneath its volcanic namesake at Barrett Park in Hood River. The exhibition features 20 nature-themed poems at intervals along the Indian Creek Trail, spanning 2.7 miles. At right, “Say Amen,” a poem written by local author Jim Tindall. Poems are displayed for six months on durable signs with background images contributed by local photographers. The Poetry Walk is a collaboration between the Hood River County Library and the Hood River Valley Parks and Recreation Districts.
