Poets like Professor George Kalamaras don’t just “wear berets and dress in black and walk around and play bongos,” they conduct research, create works of art, and give back to the community. Kalamaras has published research on rhetoric and writing, published 15 books of poetry, created Project 411 (a statewide collaborate poem), and was the 2014–15 Indiana State Poet Laureate.
