Dear Oklahomans:
I have written two commemorative poems
while serving as your State Poet Laureate.
The first, “Directive,” was written in September 2017.
The second, “We are Thankful for This Land, for These People,” was written,
with contributions from 128 Oklahomans, on November 22, 2020.
These poems are my gifts to you. Click on the links below for printable pdfs.
Thank you for your faith in me and in my poetry and for allowing me
to serve my beloved Oklahomans.
Jeanetta Calhoun Mish
We are Thankful for This Land, for These People
