LONGMONT, Colo — Andrea Gibson , one of the most celebrated poets of the last two decades, is Colorado's 10th poet laureate .
"I think we were all born astonished. We were never meant to grow out of our awe. And I think that's what poetry consistently turns us towards and wakes us to is our awe, our astonishment and wonder. I think my job as a poet, I feel, is to remind people that we were born astonished and to keep touching back there. I genuinely feel like awe could save the world. Because I personally have never felt, I've never felt shame and awe at the same time.
For the last two years, however, a compromised immune system has prevented in-person performances. Gibson was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
