Wonderful. Her poetry if fine. She's been bravely battling cancer. Glad to see her recognition.
The CURRENT Texas Poet Laureate is Paul Ruffin. Both Ruffin and Morton were just appointed in late April or May of this year. Morton is not the Poet Laureate until April of 2010 when her term begins.
The statement that "Paul Ruffin served the previous term" is misleading since his term just started. See http://PaulDRuffin.com for information on the new Poet Laureate for 2009.
Thanks. I've added a posting for Ruffin, June 28.
