M.L. Liebler, poet and Wayne State English professor, is profiled in this feature article discussing his teaching career and international notoriety in the field. Liebler is the first poet laureate for the City of St. Clair Shores and a mover in the local and national poetry community, but chances are he is better known in Macau or Munich, where he has drawn crowds of 400 to 500 to hear his poetry. "It was bizarre, I'd never seen anything like it," he said of the large audiences in Berlin and Munich, where he has spoken at universities and performed his poetry set to music in nightclubs. He has been published in hundreds of anthologies, written about a dozen books, produced CD's with his Magic Poetry Band and won awards such as the Paterson Poetry Prize in 1995.
