Seigel
HOUGHTON In recent weeks, the country has been introduced to the likes of Amanda Gorman, the national poet laureate, who read poems for the inauguration of President Joe Biden and for the Super Bowl.
While he is not expecting to be seen and heard on quite that scale, M. Bartley Seigel is ecstatic to be named the U.P. Poet Laureate, as was announced earlier this month.
In fact, he is not yet sure how best to use his new platform.
“The biggest challenge for me is that it’s so open-ended in terms of what I can do,” he said. “There aren’t any real expectations of me. I can just be a poet. It’s an honor that I hold, I attach it to my biography or I can do what Marty (Achatz) did. (He) really took it upon himself to take an educational role, and a community outreach role, and sort of anywhere in between.
