In 2021, Georgina Marie Guardado was named an Academy of American Poets Laureate Fellow. Guardado installed poetry boxes, poetry display cases, tiny poetry libraries, and poetry murals in all eighteen communities in Lake County, California. She also plans to expand the project, with permission and the input of local Native officials and peoples, to the six Native American reservations in the county. To complete the project, Guardado will engage government leaders, local poets, artists, and youth.
