Barbara Helfgott Hyett: A Poetry Teacher that looks for work that sings!
Barbara Helfgott Hyett, has published four collections of poetry, the most recent titled “Rift”, that is out from the University of Arkansas Press.” Poet-in-Residence at Emerson College (Boston) Richard Hoffman writes of her collection:
“ …Rift is a book born of acute psychic necessity and there is not a trifle or bauble in it. Faced with the annihilation, of the life she has known, Helfgott employs imagination, her learning and her poetic virtuosity to search among biblical and mythic narratives for a way forward.”
Hyett’s work has appeared in a slew of top shelf literary journals including: Hudson Review, Agni, Ploughshares, The Women’s Review of Books, and has taught at MIT, Harvard, and Boston University. She is the recipient of two Massachusetts Cultural Artist Fellowships, a fellowship in poetry at Yaddo, to name just a few honors. She founded the well-regarded poetry workshop “PoemWorks” some twenty-five years ago.

Poetry is the estate his mother, Barbara Helfgott Hyett, a lyric poet of extraordinary gifts, has left him, and in Aporia Hyett shows himself to be its loving executor, true to its fruitfully strict ethos and aesthetic. It takes nothing away from his achievement here to say that he is the instrument through which his mother and teacher is able
