Rutgers–Camden Professor Named Guggenheim Poet-in-Residence
April 30, 2026
The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York has selected Rutgers–Camden’s Patrick Rosal as its 2026 Poet-in-Residence.
The distinguished professor in the Department of English and Communication and inaugural campus director of the Institute for the Study of Global Racial Justice will serve as the Guggenheim’s fifth poet-in-residence through the end of the year.
“That's really the goal: to get people together, like with Quilting Water, in ways that I didn’t even think was going to be possible, and to bring that to a world-class art institution like the Guggenheim,” Rosal said.
Rosal, who joined the Rutgers–Camden faculty in 2011, has authored five poetry collections—most recently The Last Thing: New and Selected Poems (Persea, 2021), which won the William Carlos Williams Book Award. He has earned fellowships from the John Simon Guggeneim Memorial Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Fulbright Research Scholar program.
