Around the state in 365 days with California Poet Laureate Dana Gioia

This week marks one year since Dana Gioia began his adventure as “poetry’s public servant” in the Golden State. In that time, the state poet laureate has taken his role as advocate for the art of poetry across the state quite literally, making it a point to visit every county in California.

Earlier this week, Gioia took the time to answer our questions—about poetry, his position, where he’s been, and where he’s headed next.  >>
