CONCORD – Nominations are now being accepted for the next New Hampshire poet laureate, who will serve a five-year term beginning in January 2014. Poet and poetry advocate Walter Butts, the state’s most recent poet laureate, passed away earlier this year.

The selection process for the position is coordinated by the Poetry Society of New Hampshire, the N.H. State Council on the Arts and the New Hampshire Writers’ Project. An official announcement naming the next poet laureate is expected to take place on November 6, 2013, as part of the 2013 Governors Arts Awards in Manchester, N.H.
