Today is my official last day as 20th Poet Laureate of the Commonwealth of Virginia (2020-22).

It’s truly been an honor, privilege, and joy to serve in this capacity, and I have so many of you to thank for your unstinting and generous support.

I have a few more projects that I started during my term, that I’ll continue to see through to completion… because we need poetry now more than ever, and poetry is 4Evah amirite?

Again, thank you/mil gracias/salamat/agyamanac unay—
especially to my family, friends and students.
