Poet Laureate - plural: poets laureate, is a poet officially appointed by a government and is often expected to compose poems for state occasions and other government events. The term dates back to the appointment of Bernard André by Henry VII of England, though analogous appointments date back to ancient Greece and, in Padua, to Albertino Mussato.
