FREDERICTON - A committee at Fredericton City Hall has come up with new terms for what s expected from the city s poet laureate.
The role has been in question for some time after some councillors felt poems read by the former poet laureate on such issues as the Black Lives Matter movement and abortion rights were too political.
Jenna Lyn Albert s two-year term as poet laureate ended in January, and a replacement is expected to be chosen in the coming months.
