The Department of English is hiring a new poet. To that end, they are bringing to campus two candidates within the next two weeks.
The first was be Brian Henry, editor of “Verse”, author (most recently) of “Astronaut”, and former Director of Creative Writing at the University of Georgia. The second will be Sean Singer, who received the 2002 Yale Younger Poet’s Award for his book “Discography”. In order to welcome the poets and to get some feedback, the Department of English is asking a small number of students to set aside time to talk with our candidates. Brian Henry met with students at 12 Noon on Wednesday, January 19 and the second candidate, Sean Singer will be meeting with students on Monday, January 24.
We will let you know which candidate was selected when that information becomes available.
