33 year old Albuquerque poet Hakim Bellamy is named POET Laureate by Mayor Richard Berry. Earlier this month, Hakim was also named Albuquerque's BEST POET by the Weekly Alibi.
Here is a take on the fabuloso morning in our beautiful Main Library in downtown Albuquerque including both photographs and two YouTube videos of Hakim Bellamy our new POET LAUREATE and Levi Romero New Mexico's Centennial Poet pontificating poetry...
Quote of the day for me was this wise and exquisite turn of a phrase...
"I will solicit poetry from every tongue..."
