Dear Oklahomans,
I have written two commemorative poems while serving as your State Poet Laureate.
The first, “Directive,” was written in September 2017
and published in Oklahoma Today.
The second, “We are Thankful for This Land, for These People,” was written,
with contributions from 128 Oklahomans, on November 22, 2020.
These poems are my gifts to you. Click on the links below for printable pdfs.
Thank you for your faith in me and in my poetry
and for allowing me to serve my beloved Oklahomans.
