Year Title
2024 Poet Laureate of Washington State

 

In 2024, Arianne True was named an Academy of American Poets Laureate Fellow. True’s project will create arts programming, including publication, for sick and disabled writers, prioritizing accessible arts opportunities and disability community while also bringing visibility to access issues in Washington’s literary spaces. Through workshops and a cohort program, True will invite sick and disabled individuals to express themselves through poetry. The project will culminate in a public reading and free poetry zines.
