UM: Poetry

In a profile of poetry critic and Harvard professor Stephen Burt, the New York Times quotes Laura Kasischke, a poet who teaches creative writing at the University of Michigan. Speaking of Burt, who has championed her work, Kasischke says: “He hasn’t put my poetry on the best-seller list, but I think people read him. And because he goes everywhere and speaks, and has mentioned my name, it has made a difference with other poets and with readers.” [Source]
