Haas, president of the Titanic International Society, Inc.: “…authors from eight countries have contributed 87 varied, intriguing, and thoughtful poems to Unsinkable: Poems Inspired by the Titanic, providing contemporary understanding to an understanding of how, with time’s passing, the world’s subjective respond to the Titanic has evolved.

Poetry Along the Columbia Gorge: A Pop-Up Celebration
Poetry Along the Columbia River Gorge used car-free trail section along the historic Columbia River Highway to display poetry and art printed on archival paper and posted on “lawn signs” during a week in April.
In 2026, Kara participated with versions of the poems “Women at Day’s End” and “Etymology/in-dig-genous/in-di-j-n a/.” The idea of the pop-up display is to connect walkers, runners, bikers, wheelchair users to art that is fleeting as sunlight by a tree or a wild flowering.
