Humanities Kansas has Introduced the 2019-21 Poet Laureate of Kansas, Huascar Medina. A Topeka, Kansas, native, Huascar is well connected in poetry circles in the American heartland. Huascar Medina calls himself a "helianthus" — a type of sunflower that has planted a seed in Kansas, taken root and is now blooming.

As it is National Poetry Month, I thought it was the perfect time to share a photo of Kevin Rabas, the Poet Laureate of Kansas (2017-2019) with yours truly, at a recent National Endowment for the Humanities Conference in Wichita.
Mr. Rabas also teaches at Emporia State University, where he leads the poetry and playwriting tracks and chairs the Department of English, Modern Languages, and Journalism.
He has authored nine books, including "Lisa’s Flying Electric Piano", a Kansas Notable Book and Nelson Poetry Book Award winner. Rabas’s plays have been produced across Kansas as well as North Carolina and San Diego, and his work has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize six times.
He is the recipient of the Emporia State President’s Award for Research and Creativity and is the winner of the Langston Hughes Award for Poetry, the Victor Contoski Poetry Award, the Jerome Johanning Playwriting Award, and the Salina New Voice Award.
What an honor to meet and serve on a panel with this distinguished Kansas writer!
