John Hart champions approaches to poetry—its writing and reading—opened up by his father Lawrence Hart, mentor of the so-called Activist Group and a gadfly in Twentieth Century literary debates. John edits the all-poetry magazine Blue Unicorn and teaches and lectures in several settings. He’s won the James D. Phelan Award in poetry (plus numerous honors for nonfiction). His poetry collections are The Climbers (Pitt Poetry Series, 1978) and Storm Camp (Sugartown Publishing 2017). He’s at work on anthologies of the Activist poets and the critical writings of Lawrence Hart and his associates.
