Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has launched a search to find the city’s next poet laureate. But rather than take in the views of everyone, she has some very specific caveats for the role, which comes with a $10,00 stipend. The winning wordsmith will serve as “cultural ambassador,” but must host “inclusive poetry events,” and focus on “reaching neighborhoods that have historically had limited access to expressive writing,” according the job description.
