POETRY at TECH

Poetry at Tech became a reality with the creation of the Margaret T. and Henry C. Bourne, Jr., Chair in Poetry. The program is held by the nationally-acclaimed poet Thomas Lux, and the H. Bruce McEver, Visiting Chair in Writing.

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 brings 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.
