The Deadly Poetic Weapon

Globe: What is a poet laureate?

RP: I'm thinking of it almost [as] a town crier. Basically, they see it as a chronicler of events, but to me I also want to be a representative of my arts community, which I feel is underrepresented in the mainstream press ... I want to be a springboard for other people.

I'm jealous, Edmonton.
