Michael S. Harper
Michael Steven Harper (born March 18, 1938) is an American poet from Brooklyn, who was the Poet Laureate of Rhode Island from 1988 to 1993. He has published ten books of poetry, two of which - ''Dear John, Dear Coltrane'' (1970) and ''Images of Kin'' (1977) - have been nominated for the National Book Award. A great deal of his poetry is influenced by jazz and history.〔(Web page titled "Michael S. Harper" ) at the Academy of American poets website, accessed April 23, 2008〕 Many of his poems have been included as important examples of African-American literature and jazz poetry in various anthologies. Harper often writes about his wife, Shirley (commonly referred to as "Shirl"), their children, and their ancestors, as well as friends and various black historical and cultural figures.
==Biography==
Harper earned his B.A. and M.A. from California State University, Los Angeles, and an M.F.A. from the University of Iowa.
As of 2011, Harper lives in Barrington, Rhode Island. He is the longest serving professor of English at Brown University, where he continues to teach poetry workshops to undergraduates.〔(Michael S. Harper, University Professor, Brown University. )〕
In 1993, Nathan A. Scott in the "Afro-American Poetry" article of the ''Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics'' wrote, "Harper has created a body of work which, though it has won much respect and admiration, deserves to be far more widely known than it is."〔Preminger, Alex and T.V.F. Brogan, et al., editors, ''The Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics'', 1993, Princeton University Press and MJF Books, "Afro-American Poetry" article, by Nathan A. Scott Jr., p. 25.〕
