This month brings spring flowers – and Austin’s very first poet laureate. Chronicle cover star (check Vol. 27, Issue 51 from August 22, 2008) and poet/theatre artist Zell Miller III holds the title until 2027, and to kick off his reign, APL throws a special celebration featuring fellow poetry powerhouses like KB Brookins and current Austin Youth Poet Laureate Ella Kim and Texas Poet Laureate Amanda Johnston. Catch their performances starting at 6pm, and make sure to congratulate Miller on his momentous achievement. – James Scott
