In 2025, Tommy Archuleta was named an Academy of American Poets Laureate Fellow. Archuleta will facilitate a series of six poetry workshops at three nonprofit agencies that offer comprehensive services to Santa Fe’s unhoused and recently housed population; namely, The Life Link, St. Elizabeth’s Shelter, and Pete’s Place. The work of participants will be anthologized by a local, independent publishing house and sold in local bookstores, art galleries, and businesses throughout the city, with readings taking place at bookstores and all three Santa Fe Public Library Branches. Additionally, Archuleta will produce a documentary film depicting poetry as a conduit for healing, connection, and voice for the unhoused and the previously unhoused.
