Meet J. Drew Lanham. Poet, wildlife + ecology professor at Clemson University... and MacArthur Fellow.
As a part of the fellowship, Dr. Lanham will receive a no-strings-attached grant of $800,000 for his exceptional work as a poet and his research on the impact of forest management on birds + wildlife. He is also Clemson’s first professor and the second South Carolinian to receive this prestigious award.
