POETRY at TECH:
2006-2007

POETRY at TECH became a reality with the creation of the Margaret T. and Henry C. Bourne, Jr. Chair in Poetry, held by nationally-acclaimed poet Thomas Lux, and the H. Bruce McEver Visiting Chair in Writing, which will be held, in the spring semester of 2006, by poets Kurtis Lamkin and Chard deNiord.

With visionary gifts to the School of Literature, Communication, and Culture and the Ivan Allen College, Henry C. Bourne, Jr. and H. Bruce McEver ensure that in a highly specialized and technological environment, students' aptitudes in the humanities are nurtured and supported as a foundation for life-long learning.

In addition to poetry classes on campus, Thomas Lux will bring the finest names in poetry to Atlanta from within Georgia, all over the United States, and abroad, reaching well beyond the traditional notion of what a poem is and well beyond the expected audience for poetry.
