A poet laureate is a poet officially appointed by a government or conferring institution, typically expected to compose poems for special events and occasions. The royal office of Poet Laureate in England dates from the appointment of John Dryden in 1668, and many famous poets have been Laureates: Alfred Lord Tennyson, William Wordsworth, and Ted Hughes, just to name three. The problem is often that a number of Laureates have produced poor work when they are obliged to beat the drum of the British state and fawn upon members of the royal family. And as the post was traditionally for life, in their last years they may have been able to produce little. However, changes were made, and now the post is for only ten years, and the recent laureates, Andrew Motion, Carol Ann Duffy, and Simon Armitage, have all taken a progressive and reformist stance to the job.
In the US the Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry is appointed annually by the librarian of the United States Congress and serves from October to May and usually attempts to further the interest in poetry across the US but does not have to write poems on state occasions. However, the role of a laureate in other countries is often fulfilled by the poet who is invited to read their work at the inauguration of the new president, and thus "speak for the nation", as was the case with Amanda Gorman at the inauguration of Joe Biden, Elizabeth Alexander and Richard Blanco at the inaugurations of Barack Obama, Maya Angelou and Miller Williams at the inaugurations of Bill Clinton, and Robert Frost when John Kennedy took office. In addition, many US state and cities have their own Poet Laureates.
