Celebrating the official poets of our communities
Welcome to PoetsLaureate.us, a space dedicated to exploring and celebrating the civic poets of the United States and Canada, often called Poets Laureate, whose work inspires and uplifts all of us.
About us.
Here you will soon find an expanding archive of poet laureate programs, including directories of laureates, program histories, an interactive map, and resources for communities interested in supporting civic poetry.
More than 350 active poet laureates serve communities across the United States and Canada today, and this project continues to uncover and document the many who have held the title before them.
This website is brand new and still under construction, so please check back for updates!
