This year's course will feature poems by state poets laureate. The responsibility of a State Poet Laureate is essentially the same as the U.S Poets Laureate, “…to make public appearances at poetry readings or literary events and to promote awareness of poetry." 46 states and the District of Columbia have a State Poet Laureate, most appointed for a one or two-year term. Those participating in Poetry For The People XXlll will read selections from these State Poet Laureates and, most importantly, are encouraged to bring to the discussions their own insights, observations and perceptions. Class members’ contributions are a vital part of the class experience. Chuck Kamar received his Bachelor’s from Boston State and his Master’s from Boston University.
