Samuel James Cornish (December 22, 1935 - August 20, 2018) was Boston’s first poet laureate. He was associated with the Black Arts Movement. He taught at Emerson College. Cornish was an educator, a bookseller, and a prolific poet who made sense of African American history and urban life through his poetry. As the first poet laureate of Boston, he worked to make poetry accessible to those not traditionally interested in the art form.
