A poet laureate of adolescent sexuality and middle-age longing.
I was appointed Poet Laureate. It came totally out of the blue because most Poet Laureates had been considerably older than I. It was not something that I even had begun to dream about!
People write me from all over the country, asking me, and sometimes even telling me, what they think a poet laureate should do. I found that immensely valuable.
It's the combination of the intimate and the public that I find so exciting about being poet laureate.
