South Dakota State Poetry Society

Poetry is hitting the road in South Dakota, courtesy of the state Poetry Society. With events all over the state, it’s an opportunity to find inspiration, or lift your own voice.

South Dakota poet John Nelson joins "In the Moment" to talk about his poetry book "Bootjack." He shares the process of finding the right language to capture the moment.

Marcella Remund, president of the South Dakota State Poetry Society, explains the connection between poetry and community.

South Dakota has a new Poet Laureate, and he’s the one the state's poetry society wanted all along.

Gov. Kristi Noem did not appoint a poet laureate this year. The post may go vacant for four more years.

The South Dakota Poetry Society said the governor rejected the board’s first proposed candidate and didn’t respond to a second recommendation.

The poetry society recommends. The Governor appoints. We talk about the process of finding a new poet laureate with Dana Yost, interim president of the society.
