River Bench, 2003

Rogers worked with sculptor Steve Wood of Public Art Associates to create this bench along the American Discovery Trail in Green Mountain Falls, Colorado, at the base of Pikes Peak. It is a 4' x 15' concrete, stone and ceramic tile bench meant to withstand the elements for many years. The poems by Pattiann Rogers are on the tile pieces interspersed around the bench meant to be read at various angles of an oncoming potential reader.

Finding Poems Under the Open Sky, presents photographs and text on five different poetry trails installed in five different locations in the U.S.. One of the five sections (text by Pattiann Rogers) describes the goals and installations of the Milwaukee County Zoo signs and photographs. The four other sections contain descriptions and goals written by those who installed each trail.
