Troll Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Why is it every time I hear the word "laureate" I think of this? The New Jersey State Legislature created the position of poet laureate in 1999 when it enacted P.L. 1999, c. 228 (codified at N.J. Stat. Ann. § 52:16A-26.9 (repealed 2003)). The statute provided the governor would biennially appoint a State poet laureate who would serve for two years and receive an honorarium of $10,000. The poet laureate would promote poetry within the State and give at least two public readings each year. Maybe just the whole Shakespearean ironic love tragedy that came along with it 🤷♂️ https://www.courthousenews.com/amiri-baraka-sues-governor-who-stiffed-himfor-poet-laureate-pay-after-poem-about-911/ Those were the days 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
