Introducing St. Albert’s new Poet Laureate!
The City of St. Albert and St. Albert Public Library are pleased to announce Tyler Enfield as St. Albert’s new Poet Laureate. Over the next two years, Tyler will serve as a cultural and literary ambassador—championing poetry, creative expression and community connection across our city. “I love how poetry has a way of stopping us in our tracks, inviting us to pay closer attention… In a fast‑paced world, poetry reminds us to slow down and spend a little more time in the moment," says Enfield.
