I'll be attending my 4th "In the Company of Laureates" event in Virginia, the country's largest gathering of state and regional Poets Laureate. Since PA lacks a State Laureate position, I was our first attending representative in 2017. I'm proud to say we now comprise a sizeable slice of the lineup!
