WHAT’S NEW
Andrea Gibson is Colorado’s Poet Laureate
We’re excited to announce Andrea Gibson as the new Colorado Poet Laureate! The Poet Laureate serves as an active advocate for poetry, literacy, and literature by participating in readings and other events at schools, libraries, literary festivals, and the State Capitol. We look forward to working with Andrea (they/them) as they create opportunities to expand Coloradans’ engagement with the written and spoken word. Join us in congratulating Andrea on this exciting new role!
