Misremember As All by Paul Druecke

Working on ways to put poetry in our path, which is a continuation of my work with public inscription. Gravity makes its presence known. from the titular poem:
it’s international bonsai day when we consider beauty and
control as two sides of the same coin
there is a provocative quote that i misremember as
all desire is aggression . . .

Wild Season Time Lapse by Paul Druecke

After two years of planning, on June 15th the bronze plaque for Wild Season was mounted to a 5000 lb black granite boulder, which had been sourced from northern Wisconsin. The piece now sits on the edge of a bluff over looking Lake Michigan. Thanks to M Lackie for technical expertise mounting the plaque to the boulder. 6.5 hours reduced to 40 some seconds.
