Stickely is now looking for ideas for unusual places he can do readings in.
He will also represent the county at regional and national arts festivals and help to put on live poetry events and workshops.
Stickely hails from nearby Nottinghamshire and had his work featured on BBC Radios 3, 4 and 7 as well as ITV, Channel 4 and Radio Netherlands Worldwide.
As a member of poetry collective Aisle16, he has performed at Glastonbury, the Edinburgh Fringe, Port Eliot Lit Fest, the Latitude festival, the Athens International Book Fair and numerous literary events across the UK.
A first poem for Lincolnshire
Joel Stickley has written a short poem about his reaction to his appointment:
By Way Of Introduction
Into the valley of the A46,
the valley of roadworks and limestone bricks,
of airfields and wheat fields and beet fields and grey seals;
into the valley of Donna Nook.
Into the valley of Market Deeping,
of Heckington, Quarrington, Donington, Luddington,
Horncastle, Mablethorpe, Winterton, Waddington,
Alford and Sleaford and Stamford and Manthorpe
and Spalding and Grantham and Epworth and Scunthorpe.
Into the valley of Skegness.
Into the valley of mean more but say less –
into the valley of poetry,
of knowing we have something to say.
Into the valley, then up and away.
