New Hampshire Poet Laureate Nominations Open
The Poetry Society of New Hampshire is now accepting nominations for the position of:
STATE POET LAUREATE
for the term 2009 – 2014
Application Deadline
November 1, 2008
The position of New Hampshire Poet Laureate was established in 1967, with Paul Scott Mower serving as the state's first poet laureate. Other laureates have been Eleanor Vinton, Richard Eberhart, Donald Hall, Maxine Kumin, Jane Kenyon, Marie Harris, Cynthia Huntington, and Patricia Fargnoli. While the position is honorary, the mission of the Poetry Society of New Hampshire is to promote poetry and so candidates will be selected based on both their achievements and their ability to advance poetry in the public domain. To be considered, a poet must be a resident of New Hampshire and be nominated as outlined below. While a poet may be self or other nominated, the latter will be given preference.
How to Make a Nomination:
Postmark Deadline: November 1, 2008 or earlier. We can not be responsible for mail that is lost or delayed. Nominations must be mailed to the Poetry Society of New Hampshire, PO Box 637, Farmington, NH 03835. We cannot accept additions or corrections after the deadline.
