Douglas Kearney

February 24, 2022 by Robert Gill

Douglas Kearney is a poet, performer, and professor of poetry at the University of Minnesota. Kearney favors a nontraditional layout in his poetry, what he calls “performative typography”. Here’s an example found on poetryfoundation.org.

You can also take Kearney’s free course, “Sharpened Visions: Poetry Workshop” on Coursera for an introduction to the elements of poetry, popular poems, and a chance to workshop your own poems with poets around the world.

Learn about Douglas Kearney at his website, https://www.douglaskearney.com/.
