Poetic Obituaries: [Sylvester] Pollet's own poems

were "admired and fairly widely read," [Burt] Hatlen said, but the greater legacy Pollet leaves behind is in the students he taught at the University of Maine and his "Backwoods Broadsides" poetry compilations. Pollet also edited poems published in Paideuma, a poetry journal published by the National Poetry Foundation, which was founded at UM in 1971.
