Wooo! Poetry! New Hampshire!

The new U.S. Poet Laureate, Donald Hall, is from Wilmot, NH.

The NYT story is here. Here's hoping he's outspoken against the Bush fils junta slashing of the NEA as much as he was against the Bush père adminstration.

He joins the ranks of Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop (VC '34), and Robert Frost (also from NH).

Congratulations Mr. Hall! Congratulations New Hampshire!
