Poet Laureate Celebration: Paisley Rekdal, Raquel Salas Rivera, Kim Shuck & Molly Fisk

The program features a reading and conversation recognizing the important civic role Poet Laureates play. To continue the community celebration, cookout food will be available for sale after the event! The Academy of American Poets Laureate Fellowships are financial awards given to honor poets of literary merit appointed to serve in civic positions and to enable them to undertake meaningful, impactful, and innovative projects that engage their fellow residents, including youth, with poetry, helping to address issues important to their communities.
