Poet Laureate Nominations DUE NOVEMBER 1st!

CAP is currently seeking nominations for the 2011 Tompkins County Poet Laureate. The title of "Poet Laureate" is a time-honored tradition. In 1668, England officially established the post as a royal office. In 1937, the US created the position as a national one.
The position of Tompkins County Poet Laureate was established by the County Legislature in 2001 to honor local outstanding poets, integrate poetry into the community, enrich the education of our young people, and enhance the County's position as a cultural center. Given our literary pedigree, it's no surprise that Tompkins was one of the first counties in the nation to have such an official post!
Since its establishment, the selection and announcement of the Tompkins County Poet Laureate has been a process administered by CAP, which solicits nominations and organizes the selection panel that considers the appointment. Appointments to the position are for one-year terms, but precedent allows for one additional consecutive one-year term, based on the availability of the poet.
