The City of San Francisco is seeking a new Poet Laureate. I hereby nominate the estimable poet, Dana Gioia. Of course, he happens to be Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, right now. On the upside, he is a native Californian with deep Bay Area roots, and he knows the value of a buck.
Alternatively, there is Thomas Newton. --Matt Rosenberg, rosenberg.com
