Question about Poet Laureate of Georgia

During our last workshop in January at the Augusta Richmond County Library, I was asked who was the Poet Laureate of Georgia,( no it is not Natasha Trethewey). I did a little research and found out that Judson Mitcham is the official represenative for Georgia. If you want to learn more about him and what the Georgia Poet Laureate does click on the link. 

  We are now in the midst of our annual contest, Poetry Matters Lit Awards. The call for entries has produced a steady stream of entries and the need to prepare the call for judges. Stay tuned and keep writing! 

 Will be posting last two workshops shortly.
