The 1982 bronze sculpture, set atop a sculpted granite boulder, depicts Morison holding binoculars. Below his feet, embedded in the boulder, are bronze casts of crabs, shells, and starfish. Etched into a smaller rock beside the boulder is inscribed his counsel to young writers: ”Dream dreams, then write them aye, but live them first.”
