BML Announces Haddam’s First Poet Laureate!


Lorraine Riess has been selected for a 2-year appointment as the Poet Laureate of Haddam. Lorraine, a published poet, and a Haddam resident will serve in the honorary position as the ambassador of the community’s literary life on January 1, 2021.

The selection was made by a committee of community representatives that considered: breadth of experience in poetry, comfort level in public speaking, and achievements of distinction. Although the position is unpaid, the Haddam Poet Laureate is endorsed by the Town of Haddam and will be assisted by the library in the coordination of scheduling of events. Visit our poetry blog to read Lorraine's poetry, posts, and upcoming event announcements! Feel free to join in, comment and submit your own poetry.
