Contrary to an earlier post, our new poet laureate Cathy Smith Bowers will not be posting to this blog. She will have her own site through the NC Arts Council's projected "umbrella site", which will also link to my Lasso archive. I will move a few of my Lasso features over to my "Here, Where I Am" blog, such as features on specific poets and new books I like. These posts will focus mostly on NC writers, but I am now able to give more attention to work outside our state. I invite you to visit "Here, Where I Am" and post comments. I'm also hoping to set up some "assignments" for interested writers, readers, and teachers.
I'll keep you updated on the status of the Arts Council's laureate site.
In the meantime, I'll be making the transition from Lasso to kitchen window! See you there!

Thanks so much for featuring my book "Better With Friends" on this site. I appreciate it so very much, Kay. Hope to meet you in person before too long. And don't forget to send us poetry at the Dead Mule. We didn't want you just because you were the NC Poet Laureate. We wanted you because you write good poetry. Helen Losse
Hi Helen, thank you for this lovely comment. It was a pleasure to feature "Better with Friends." And I'm hoping we will meet in person soon. And I will send more work to Dead Mule, as soon as I get my post-laureate life organized. If that's possible. K.
oh i will miss this site! and i will miss you being the poet laureate :)
