I would like to sponsor Yvonne Blomer. There are so many reasons why. Many are personal. She has been my poetry mentor, my most essential poetry teacher, and my guide in editing, refining, and putting together my first volume of poetry Collecting Silence. I owe her tons of gratitude. Also, I admire her immensely as poet, as teacher, as past artistic director of our so vital and vibrant Planet Earth Poetry reading series. And now as our most amazing Poet Laureate. She leaves a tremendously rich legacy behind her.

I feel truly honored to be able to sponsor her reading. Ulrike
