Naming of the Fairfax Poet Laureate is a high honor that highlights the importance of poetry and the literary arts in Fairfax County. By designating a poet laureate, ArtsFairfax seeks to raise the visibility of poetry by celebrating and supporting a poet who can engage new audiences, create new opportunities for poetry to be shared, and encourage the creation of poetry and other literary works. The Poet Laureate program recognizes a professional poet’s achievements and their demonstrated history of accomplishments, and it promotes their continued pursuit of their creative work while creating opportunities for connection between the Poet Laureate and Fairfax County communities.
