The Calgary Poet Laureate is intended to be an ambassador of the arts to the citizens of Calgary. Each Calgary Poet Laureate will produce literary work that is reflective of Calgary’s landscape, cityscape and/or civic identity and that may raise awareness of local issues.
Nominees for Calgary Poet Laureate must be professionally published or presenting poets, be current residents of Calgary, and demonstrate established careers through their bodies of work or have made significant contributions to their communities regardless of career length.
