Attached is the Call for Nominations for the next Oregon Poet Laureate. Lawson Inada’s term as Oregon Poet Laureate will end in February and a committee on which I serve will recommend a new Poet Laureate to Governor Kulongoski. We hope to have many good nominees to choose from. Please help us by considering a nomination and by spreading the word about this to others. The attached Call for Nominations has all the information. The deadline for nominations is February 15th.<BR>
