Poets from in and out of the state would interview each other, engage in the other's poems and talk about a Wisconsin poet who helped them see the world through a different lens. Gulig plans to start conversations between Wisconsin poets and poets who thrive in cosmopolitan oases like New York and San Francisco. Margaret Rozga, who served from 2019 until the end of 2020, edited a book of poems featuring Wisconsin-based poets called "Through this Door: Wisconsin in Poems." Dasha Kelly Hamilton, who served from 2021 until the end of 2022, hosted multiple poetry workshops in an online course called "Alignment." In her tenure as vice chair, she has worked with three state poet laureates including Gulig, each of whom has brought individual flair to the position. It takes imagination and creative projects to access a whole state's diverse range of people, said Vida Cross, vice chair of the Wisconsin Poet Laureate Commission and a blues poet in her own right.
