FAQs
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
Parents of young children should know that while the evening is open to ALL community members, poetry on any topic is welcome; in addition, we ask that all audience members be able to sit quietly during readings. Please be considerate of those reading their work and use your best judgment when bringing young children.

Organizer Cupertino Poet Laureate - Kaecey McCormick
Organizer of Community Poetry Night: Inspired by Nature
In December 2010, the City Council of Cupertino unanimously adopted a resolution establishing the office of the Cupertino Poet Laureate. Cupertino’s Poet Laureate is charged by the City to officially promote poetry and other literary forms to the City’s diverse population. Each person appointed Poet Laureate will preside for two years. Through personal presentations and hosted educational events, the Laureate will introduce adults and youth to the benefits of personal and community expression, highlighting living and working in Cupertino.
