Arthur Sze is appointed US poet laureate as the Library of Congress faces challenges

The Library of Congress has named Arthur Sze the new U.S. poet laureate. The library announced Monday Sze will serve a one-year term, starting this fall. The 74-year-old author and translator succeeds Ada Limón. Sze was initially hesitant about the role due to concerns over the responsibilities involved and recent upheaval at the federal library. However, Sze accepted the position after considering the opportunity to give back to poetry. Sze plans to focus on translation, which he believes can deepen the appreciation of poetry. Sze says from his home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, poetry has helped him grow “in every way.” The New York City native studied at the University of California, Berkeley.
