Last Month's Trivia Contest Answer

In last month’s trivia question, we asked which of five eminent American poets had never taught at the University of Washington.

    1. Louise Bogan
    2. Stanley Kunitz
    3. Robert Lowell
    4. Elizabeth Bishop
    5. Theodore Roethke

The correct answer is #3. Roethke was a prominent member of the UW faculty for many years, and Bogan, Kunitz and Bishop all held short-term visiting appointments.
