I didn't really like the idea of a new Poet Laureate for PEI, since I like, and have so much respect for, Frank Ledwell. He had an extended term as PL, and I just love his writings. That being said, I quite like what the new PL, David Helwig has set up. He wants poetry on PEI to be more accessible / visible, so he put up a site where Islanders can post their own work, as well as see and hear the work of local contemporaries. Cool idea. So, I posted a poem today. Lookit, me, ma! I'm a poet!
