One of the two sculptures that comprise Poet’s Pause in Alta Lake Park. An annual poetry competition is held to celebrate the intention of this public art project. The steel chimes inspire interaction and the associated sounds resonate with the lake.
Poet’s Pause is part of the Valley Trail series of public art projects commissioned by the Resort Municipality of Whistler. Through an open competition and juried selection process, Whistler resident Joan Baron was selected for her creative, multi-faceted Poet’s Pause proposal. The proposal involved sculpture, place making, and creation of an ongoing poetry competition.
