Suzanne Rhodes of Fayetteville is happiest when she's writing poems. Technically, she is not required to do any writing or crafting of poetry during her year as Arkansas State Poet Laureate, a position she assumed in February that recognizes a poet of significant talent. But it has always been an integral part of her life, ever since childhood when she would frequently wake her sister in the middle of the night to read her a poem that she'd just written.
