Denise Low, interim dean of the College of Humanities and Arts at Haskell Indian Nations University, has been named Kansas’ next poet laureate. Her term will run from July 1, 2007, to June 30, 2009.
Low is a native of Emporia and a graduate of Emporia schools. She is the daughter of the late Francis and Dorothy Dotson.
“I want to celebrate the many readers and poets across the state who sustain a life of the mind, as well as deep love for the land,” Low said. “During these next several years, I hope to share my own excitement about poetry with our libraries, colleges, public schools, arts centers and alliances and reading groups.”
