H there! My name is Jeannine Hall Gailey, and I'm Redmond's new Poet Laureate! Since Redmond's known for its technology brainpower, and a lot of the poetry in my books has been inspired by subjects like comic book superheroines, Japanese pop culture, and robots, I think it's appropriate that the slogan for my term is "Poetry for Geeks; Geeks for Poetry."
I'm hoping to create in this blog a Redmond community resource to find out about all the cool poetry stuff going on in Redmond. I hope that can be a great launch pad for you all to tell me what you are looking for in terms of information, kinds of events, and ways to connect to other poets in the Redmond area. What are you looking for from your new Poet Laureate? I'd like to know! Would you like to see more readings? workshops? I'm hoping to build up our community calender to show all kinds of poetry-related events in our neighborhoods as well.
