The new Poet Laureate of Murfreesboro is MTSU English’s own Dr. Matthew (Matt) Levitt Brown.

The MTSU alum has published multiple books, including his poetry collection Thou Art That.

He is also the co-founder of multiple writing groups, including Writers Corps, a student literary project for military veterans and their families; the Lavinia Project, a creative writing group for survivors, witnesses, and allies against sexual and domestic violence; and Nuestros Voces, a writing and resource acquisition group for Latino students and others interested in the Latino experience.

The new Poet Laureate’s recent experimental work with interactive writing component is up in Todd Gallery 210 through Spring Break.
