Northfield Poet Laureate: Occasional Poems

The Northfield Poet Laureate is sponsored by the City of Northfield and funded by the Northfield Public Library and the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council (SEMAC), in partnership with the Northfield Arts and Culture Commission.

Occasional Poems

One of the responsibilities of the Northfield Poet Laureate is to write and read original poems for public occasions, such as City Council meetings, dedications, and other community celebrations. This page includes a collection of those public occasional poems. These poems are free to download and share with proper attribution. If you share a poem, please indicate that it is the work of Rob Hardy. These poems may not be sold or used for commercial purposes.
