- **Event Name**: First Wednesday Poetry Series Featuring Poet Eddie D. Wilcoxen
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 01 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Selected by Governor Brad Henry as Oklahoma Poet Laureate for 2011 and 2012, Eddie Wilcoxen traveled the state and made more than one hundred appearances during his term, sharing his love of poetry and promoting support of the arts. In his original stories, he weaves historical facts, personal experiences, humor and vivid imagery to promote understanding and respect.  His ability to craft tales that not only enchant audiences, but also carry invaluable lessons about human nature have garnered him widespread acclaim.  The humor and subtle grace that infuse Wilcoxen’s work enable his broad and modern appeal, and ensures that people of all ages will be entertained and heartened by his performance.

Throughout his life, Eddie was always writing poetry, continuing a practice that had started in his early teens.  His love of poetry dates back to those early hospital years when his mother would read poetry to him almost every day.  Eddie has written a collection of poems for each of the last two Oklahoma Chautauquas, and he has published twelve books of poetry, including “Oklahoma Proud,” “Reflections of a Wandering Mind” and “Faith, Hope and Poetry.”  He has also started a YouTube channel, “eddiestuff” featuring videos of his original poetry. 


Eddie and his wife Joan served as Co-Presidents of the Poetry Society of Oklahoma for 2014 and 2015.  The PSO was established in 1934 as the foremost Oklahoma organization to strengthen and expand the place of poetry in society at large, versus strictly academic settings.
