[New-Poetry] Fwd: CA Poet Laureate: wow, we're prestigious

[Catherine Daly]

*The application for California Poet Laureate is now open. The submission
deadline is February 1, 2011.*http://www.cac.ca.gov/poetlaureate/main.php

*If you are a poet, I encourage you to nominate yourself.  I also encourage
all of you to nominate the amazing poets in California!*

*California's poets are absolutely among the most prestigious in the nation.
The California Poet Laureate is a Governor's appointee.  We now have a new
Governor, and it is also time to begin the selection process for the next
California Poet Laureate.  The mission of the California Poet Laureate is to
spread the art of poetry from classrooms to boardrooms across the state, to
inspire an emerging generation of literary artists, and to educate all
Californians about the many poets and authors who have influenced our great
state through creative literary expression.*

*I look forward to reading your nominations!*
