Craig Oare is the Lawrence Ferlinghetti of Olympia poetry - humorous and radical in equal parts, charming and odd, distinct and incredibly well read. His poems are uniquely his own, though, a tongue-in-cheek style so concise that it’s hard to argue with.

In Garfield Nature Trail, he draws on the lives and words of writers, musicians, activists, religious and historical figures from all ages (Charlie Chaplin, Miles Davis, Mary Oliver, Leonard Cohen, and Rachel Corrie, just to name a few) to create a book of poems for anyone who loves nature and Olympia, Wa.
