About the Project


Created by Texas Poet Laureate Amanda Johnston,  Praisesong for the People: Poems from the Heart and Soul of Texas will commission 70 poets across 7 Texas regions to write original praise poems celebrating everyday people in the state we call home. This project seeks to uplift our diverse and intersecting population across age, gender, and BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, differently-abled, and immigrant communities.
