Fri. 12:06 – Robert Hayden grew up in a Detroit slum, yet managed to become one of the most distinguished writers of his time.  04/09/2021.

Both at Fisk University and at the University of Michigan,  he was a distinguished professor and became the Poet Laureate of the United States from 1976 to 1978.  He considered himself as an American poet rather than a black poet, following in the tradition of Stephen Vincent Benet.  Leigh, P.T., and Dr. C. look at his life and work.  Join us.  Listen to WRUU 107.5 FM in Savannah and globally @ wruu.org.
