Mayor Nenshi announced that in celebration of National Poetry Month, and Regina, Saskatchewan Mayor Michael Fougere’s challenge to Canadian Mayors to participate in the Mayors Poetry City Challenge, three poets are being hosted at today’s meeting.  The Mayor recognized that, in addition to celebrating poets, National Poetry Month recognizes the contribution that reading, writing and public libraries make to the cultural life of communities.

Mayor Nenshi introduced Mr. Kris Demeanor, who represented The City of Calgary over the last two years as its Poet Laureate, while attending many events, including the Alberta Flood Relief Concert and the Calgary Stampede Youth Talent Competition.  The Mayor advised that today is Mr. Demeanor’s final official act before passing the torch to a new Poet Laureate.

Mr. Demeanor expressed his gratitude to The City of Calgary for its enthusiasm towards the Poet Laureates, as well as to the financial sponsors that made this initiative possible.   He invited Ms. Emily Xu, a Grade 8 student who is represented in the anthology “The Calgary Project, A City Map in Verse and Visual” to share her poem “Rapunzel’s Tower”.

Mr. Demeanor introduced The City of Calgary’s next Poet Laureate, Mr. Derek Beaulieu and indicated Mr. Beaulieu has authored eight books of poetry as well as teaching at Mount Royal University and Alberta College of Art and Design.   Mr. Beaulieu expressed his gratitude for the bestowment and recited a poem entitled “Bookstores Haunt Me and Thrill Me”.

Mayor Nenshi thanked former Poet Laureate, Kris Demeanor and offered congratulations to the new Poet Laureate, Derek Beaulieu.  He praised “The Calgary Project, A City Map in Verse and Visual” which has brought together Calgary poets and artists.  Mayor Nenshi also recognized DJ Kelly as being instrumental in bringing the Poet Laureate initiative to fruition.
