The Library of Congress this past week named Arthur Sze the 25th poet laureate of the United States. The longtime Santa Fe-based poet called the honor “a bit of a shock and also exciting.”

Over the course of his career, Sze has published 12 collections of poetry, including “The Glass Constellation,” which received a 2024 National Book Foundation Science and Literature Award. He is also a renowned translator of classical Chinese poetry and a committed educator.
