Poet Laureate of VA on the Dead Mule 4/29
Another exciting Dead Mule update for y’all. We are proud to announce that we will be featuring the work of Carolyn Kreiter-Foronda, including three poems from her newly released book, River Country, on the Mule tomorrow, April 29.
Kreiter-Foronda was appointed Poet Laureate, 2006-2008, for the Commonwealth of Virginia by Governor Timothy M. Kaine. She is the author of several books and anthologies. Her poems have appeared throughout the United States and abroad in numerous publications. Her many poetry honors include three Pushcart Prize nominations. She has been named a Virginia Cultural Laureate for her contributions to American Literature. And yet, when the Mule asked her for poems, she replied by saying, “How kind of you to write to request a poetry submission.”
Please drop in at the Mule and enjoy the work of this stellar poet — and don’t forget to check out her website. She is an artist, too and her paintings are as marvelous as her poems.
