Poet Laureate is a title that dates back to ancient Greece. The state would appoint a Laureate, crowning them with a laurel wreath the same way they did for heroes. The concept was revived during the classical era and the mystique of the title has kept hold over the centuries and the tradition continues in modern times. Today we have Poets Laureate appointed from organizations, universities, towns, cities, counties, states, countries and more. The Golden Laurels Poetry Laureate Chapbook series features poetry chapbooks from contemporary Poets Laureate. Published by Local Gems Press www.localgemspoetrypress.com
