OPA's first regional poetry ambassadors have recently finished a two-year term and we are most grateful for their service to our organization. Now we are pleased to welcome, with gratitude, our next batch of regional ambassadors, who will serve from now until Fall 2028:
We are thrilled to learn that our NW Ohio Regional Poetry Ambassador, Sandra Rivers-Gill, has been selected as the New Lucas County (Toledo) Poet Laureate. Congratulations! sandrariversgill.com/
With great pride and pleasure we learn that our own Chuck Salmons has been selected as Ohio Poet of the Year!!!
We're thrilled to see him and his beautiful collection by Sheila-Na-Gig, Surviving the Eremocene, receive this well deserved recognition.
