<p><span style='color:black'>Lisa Starr is Rhode Island’s Poet Laureate, and
also an inn-keeper, a mother, and a basketball coach. She tries to balance her
time among a variety of interests, her family, and her passion for poetry. She
is a two-time recipient of the R.I. Fellowship for Poetry. In her capacity as
Poet Laureate, Starr is generating a statewide poetry pen-pal system which
creates and then partners writing circles among student and elderly communities
around the state. She has also established poetry circles in hospitals, homeless
shelters, the state prison, and agencies for children and adults with severe
mental and physical disabilities. She is the author of three poetry books:<span
class=apple-converted-space> </span><i>Mad With Yellow</i>, <i>This Place
Here</i> and<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><i>Days of Dogs and
Driftwood</i>. Starr is the founder and director of the Block Island Poetry
Project, the nationally acclaimed celebration of poetry, the arts and humanity.
With the help of husband Champlin, children Orrin (12) and Millie (11), and
Brother the Dog, Starr operates the Hygeia House, a 10-room inn on Block Island.
When time permits, she writes her heart out. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
