I have been working with The Montgomery
County Poet Laureate Program Committee
and with all of the past poets
laureate to produce a retrospective
audio CD in honor of the program's
first decade. The CD will feature
approximately seven minutes of
poetry by each of the nine poets
who have served as poet laureate
of Montgomery County between 1999
and 2007, and by this year's winner.
We intend to produce the CD for
the 2008 award ceremony, which
will be held at Arcadia University
on Friday, April 11. Proceeds
from CD sales will support the
poet laureate program and the
high standards of poetry which
it engenders.
