Latest revision as of 16:57, 5 September 2024

The position of Poet Laureate of Virginia was established December 18, 1936 by the Virginia General Assembly.[1]

Originally, the Poet Laureate of Virginia was appointed without outside consultation by the General Assembly, usually for one year, in a process that has been described being "more of a political thing".[2]

As of 1996, the procedure was changed[2] and most recently codified in 1998 in Virginia Code, Sec. 7.1–43, as follows:[1]

7.1-43. Poet laureate.
The honorary position of Poet Laureate of Virginia is hereby created. Beginning in 1998, the Governor may appoint a poet laureate from a list of nominees submitted by the Poetry Society of Virginia. Each poet laureate shall serve a term of two years with no restrictions on reappointment.
(1997, c. 299.)[1]

The Virginia General Assembly now confirms the governor's appointment.[3]
