[Libs-Or] Elizabeth Woody is Oregon's New Poet Laureate

[Jennifer Maurer]

Please pardon the cross-posting.

Just in time for April’s National Poetry Month and Poem In Your Pocket Day on April 21st, Governor Brown named Elizabeth Woody the new poet laureate of Oregon. Ms. Woody will assume the role late next month while the current poet laureate, Peter Sears, phases out his duties.

Know that you can request an appearance by the poet laureate. The official website should be updated soon.
