Too often poetry is perceived as a form belonging only to musty books, when it’s actually an art filled with freedom, creativity, and connection. National Student Poet Gopal Raman explains how poetry can become a vibrant part of contemporary education.
A senior at St. Mark’s School of Texas, the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities selected Gopal Raman as one of five National Student Poets - the nation’s highest honor for young poets presenting original work.
