sacramento POET LAUREATE PROGRAM

The Sacramento Poet Laureate Program was established in February 2000 by SMAC, and is designed to extend and bring to life the power and beauty of poetry and the spoken word to our community and to increase literary awareness in Sacramento County.

The Sacramento Poet Laureate Program strives to encourage literary awareness by the general public and celebrates the high caliber of talent among Sacramento’s poets.

Taking into consideration the current and anticipated budget reductions across all SMAC programs, the Sacramento Poet Laureate program will continue without the implementation of a project and with a reduced budget for the 2009-11 term. SMAC anticipates re-implementing the project portion of the program when funding becomes available.

If you have any questions about the program please contact Anja Aulenbacher.
