SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Silicon Valley is searching for its first poet laureate - a writer who can elevate the art of haikus in the land of high-tech.
The Arts Council Silicon Valley says there is a vibrant poetry scene in Santa Clara County that doesn't get a lot of recognition.
The poet laureate program will help change that through community outreach and by highlighting local writers.
Applicants to the post must be published poets who have lived in Santa Clara County for five years. The chosen poet will get a $4,000 stipend.
