My State of Minnesota has created the honorary role of "Poet Laureate" to "act as an enthusiastic champion of poetry in Minnesota............" so while I do not feel this legislation was needed (instead of an act of government I would have preferred an organization like our Minnesota Library Association would have created such a position -- http://www.mnlibraryassociation.org/) I will still help promote the job given my love of books, learning, and as a supporter of the arts.
If you or someone you know qualifies for this role please apply by 31 October 2007 via this website:
www.minnesotahumanities.org
Good luck to all applicants.
As a tribute to this new job in Minnesota I will close this posting with a haiku I wrote for this occasion:
Ten thousand lakes strong
The loon's tremolo beckons
Enjoy north woods sunsets
Read to live or live to read,
Todd
