Hi, I’m Traci Brimhall, Poet Laureate of Kansas, here for Poets on the Plains. Today, I’ve been asked to share one of my own poems with you, and since I serve as Laureate for the State of Kansas I decided that I would read a poem of mine that is a tribute to my state. It’s also the first poem I read at a public event after being appointed Poet Laureate. -
