We Are Here is edited by former Poets Laureate of Sunland-Tujunga Dr. Maja Trochimczyk (2010-2012) and Marlene Hitt (1999-2001). The Village Poets have held readings at the City of Los Angeles Historical Landmark Bolton Hall Museum since 2010, as well as at the McGroarty Arts Center, former home of the California Poet-Laureate (1933-1944), John Steven McGroarty. His Poet-Laureate role inspired the local Poet-Laureate program, initiated in 1999. The anthology We Are Here consists of two parts: Guests and Featured Poets, represented by 1-3 poems each; and Poets-Laureate, with 10 poets, represented by 6-9 poems each. A list of Village Poets Readings, a brief history of the program, and biographies of the poets are included.
