Congratulations to Boston's New Poet Laureate

Congratulations Danielle Legros Georges.

Find out more about the poet via Boston Magazine.

It's important for me to document this news here, due to there being (as others have pointed out) a lack of online archived material on this position.  Not to mention the Cambridge Poet Populist, a position which has been around a little longer than the Poet Laureate but suffers from the same problem.

These are such new positions in this age of digital information, with only two Boston Poet Laureates and four Cambrige Poet Populists in history.  To have such poor documentation outside of blog entrie from stalwart scenesters like Doug Holder is inexcusable and will hopefully be corrected while it still can.
