Carrboro resident Celisa Steele works at a consulting firm she founded with her husband, but her real passion lies in writing poetry.
Steele serves as the Carrboro Poet Laureate for the 2013-2015 term.
According to a press release from the Carrboro Arts Committee, the poet laureate works to enhance the role of poetry in the lives of Carrboro residents.
Some of these jobs include organizing poetry festivals and presenting to local schools.
“Carrboro is very very supportive of cultural arts, that includes performing arts and written and spoken word,” said Recreation Supervisor Rah Trost. “I just think that goes in line with the town of Carrboro’s support in recognizing the importance of poetry in people’s lives.”
