In this week's episode of the Get Lit Minute, your weekly poetry podcast, we discuss the life and work of American poet, essayist, and educator Robert Hayden. He served as a Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress from 1976 to 1978, a role today known as US Poet Laureate. He was the first African-American writer to hold the office.
