The Poet Laureate Trail is returning to El Dorado County! A collaboration between Arts and Culture El Dorado and the El Dorado County Library, 2023-2025 El Dorado County Poet Laureate Stephen Meadows will visit the Cameron Park Library for a free poetry reading, Q&A and open mic. Meadows will be joined on the trail by former Poets Laureate, special guests from El Dorado County and beyond, and Poetry Out Loud champions.

Stephen Meadows is a Californian poet with roots in the Ohlone and the pioneer soil of his home state. As a descendant of native peoples who built the Carmel Mission, Gold Rush families who settled in the gold country of the foothills, and a farm family in Carmel Valley, his poems are steeped in the indelible aura of California. Stephen has published poems in anthologies and collections nationwide, and his poem “For the Living” can be found on a bronze plaque along the Embarcadero on San Francisco’s waterfront along with other famous poets.
