Ottawa Poet Laureate (redux);

Every few years this comes up again, the suggestion that maybe Ottawa should have a poet laureate again (we had them well before other Canadian cities, as well as long before the Parliamentary Poet Laureate was created) [see my earlier note on same here]. Today in the Ottawa Citizen, columnist Phil Jenkins (thanks to Amanda Earl who blogged about it) suggests the same, and says that we should even be offering nominations [see the whole article here]. You can send your own suggestions to letters@thecitizen.canwest.com
