A deep thank-you, first, to caseyquinn, our outgoing AW Poet Laureate. Casey's been selfless in offering help and feedback to others and to keeping things going in the Poetry Forum in general.

You've been superb, Casey - thank you, and enjoy your emeritus status!

Now, I have the distinct pleasure of announcing our new Poet Laureate - someone who, I imagine, will be acclaimed by all as a wonderful poet, an active and insightful critic, and a fun person to have around.

Please welcome, our twelfth AW Poet Laureate --

Feiss

Congratulations, and thank you, for accepting.

Feiss kicks ass. I don't read or write poetry, but when I got here she caught my eye. You guys picked well.

Congratulations Feiss, you deserve it.

Thanks guys. I'm humbled to say the least to be picking up the torch after such a long line of fantastic poets.

I only hope i can do the position some justice.
