United States Poet Laureate Visits Gwinnett

Pulitzer prize winning author Natasha Trethewey spoke Sunday, Oct. 7, at Georgia Gwinnett College. Named United States poet laureate back in June, Trethewey’s duties began in September.

As the daughter of a white man and black woman who were illegally married in the '60s, Trethewey uses poetry as a tool to vividly describe the implications of race throughout history while discovering what it means for her, personally. Her most recent work, "Thrall', is a powerful juxtaposition of historical analysis and introspection. See Snellville Patch for more on this story.
