Emery Campbell Named 2009 Senior Poet Laureate

I have been named 2009 Senior Poet Laureate for Georgia. This resulted from my poem "Frogs in Earnest" having won this honor in the 2009 SPL contest sponsored by the Angels Without Wings Foundation whose director is Wanda Parrott. This annual contest is for poets aged fifty years and older. A winner is chosen by a qualified judge for each participating state. Then an overall 2009 National Senior Poet Laureate is chosen from the individual state winners.

Due to an inexplicable aberration in the selection process I did not arrive at the top of the national SPL pile this year. Very sad.
