The California poet laureate, Lee Herrick: https://arts.ca.gov/press-release/go...poet-laureate/
I can assure you the event will likely be lowkey. Our new county poet laureate Stephen Meadows, and past county laureates will also attend at our public library in Placerville. I've known Stephen for maybe a handful of years: https://artsandcultureeldorado.org/poet-laureate/ and Taylor Graham, also noted in the link, is our Thursday at Two poetry leader. I may dust off a poem for the open microphone session... or not :)

Liked the poem and its recurrences:"Flute of life, pipe midst of Winter/Songs of golden days of summer".
