Office of the Poet Laureate (cont.)
Most recently, she was commissioned to write a poem that was placed on Epoch, a sculpture by Albert Paley in downtown Washington at the PEPCO building on 701 9th Street, NW. In 2004, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority commissioned Ms. Kendrick to write two poems for Journeys, a sculpture by Barbara Grygutis for the New York Avenue Metro station in DC. For more information about these collaborative art and poetry projects, please visit poetry and art viewing in DC. For information on where you can go and hear live poetry in the District, visit links to poetry.
She works out of the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities where she runs a series of poetry programs for secondary school students, established and emerging poets, an awards program for high school students and offers readings to senior citizens organizations and homeless community centers. In addition, she leads an ongoing initiative to bring poetry into the workplace.
In the Summer of 2006, the Inter-American Development Bank, a supporter of the Poet Laureate secondary school poetry competition, presented the Office of the Poet Laureate with a unique gift of poetry to share with the residents of the city and lovers of the spoken word: a collection of the poems of Pablo Neruda.
