James Daniels APPOINTED AS Greensboro’s next POET LAUREATE

James Daniels, a poet, educator, and artistic leader, has been appointed Poet Laureate of Greensboro. He holds an MFA in Creative Writing and currently serves as Professor and Coordinator of Creative Writing at North Carolina A&T State University. Daniels is a published author whose poetry appears in Greensboro Review, EcoTheo, Cherry Tree Literary, Stonecoast Review, Windhover, and more.

A strong advocate for arts-based community building, has over a decade of experience teaching writing and hip-hop education across universities, schools, and community programs. Daniels leads Sol Lxve Creative Studios and supports artist development through the Fire and Light Collective.

"This honorary designation of laureateship is about building bridges... I plan to steward whatever I am given in this role for the greater good of Greensboro, poetry, and the art and culture that makes us human—by breaking walls and making us bridges."

                                                                                                                        -James Daniels

About the Program

  • Leading a project that expands literary engagement within communities with limited access to the arts
  • Performing at select civic and cultural events
  • Curating a public program in celebration of National Poetry Month

About Creative Greensboro
