“I am humbled, astonished, and honored to have been selected as Anaheim’s Second Poet Laureate. As a speculative poet, I am an advocate for STEAM education, the use of poetry to inspire a sense of stewardship for the Earth, and as the inspiration to leap to the stars.”<\/p>\nWendy Van Camp<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
