Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday appointed Lee Herrick, a Fresno-based writer and professor, to be the state's poet laureate, citing a body of work that "explores the diversity and vitality of the California experience and the exhilarating success of the American experiment."Herrick, 52, was born in Daejeon, South Korea, and adopted when he was 10 months old by parents from Northern California.
