Note

• "In her role as 2010 Texas State Poet Laureate, Karla K. Morton created a Little Town, Texas Tour to serve as an ambassador of poetry. The tour's main mission was to bring poetry to teens across Texas, making poetry more accessible and relevant to students, especially in towns that may be underserved in the arts. Along the way, Ms. Morton also spoke at various cancer centers, fundraising events and support groups, where she shared from Redefining Beauty, a poetry collection she wrote during her own diagnosis, treatment and survival of breast cancer."--Karla K.
