Longtime Cabot resident and poet Ellen Bryant Voight is the subject of a recent article in Seven Days. In 1999, Ellen was named for a four year term as Vermont State Poet (now called Poet Laureate), and was a 2015 recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship (also known as "genius grant"). In addition to many other awards and accolades, Ellen has been a teacher, bringing poetry to high school and college students, including establishing a Master of Fine Arts program at Goddard College. She has published nine collections of poetry, and her latest book combines her previous work into a single volume. Comments are closed.
