Local news

Keith Wilson has been named Poet Laureate of Las Cruces, New Mexico.

A former professor, he is the coolest man. He and his wife have always been kind and generous to me; they give me books, invite me into their home and feed me. Mr. Wilson is always after me to call him "Keith" but I'm not feeling that I'm at his level, that I'm truly a collegue, though he's always treated me as such.

It is an honor to have been taught by him, to know him, to be enriched by his work.
