I hope you run across more presidents who write poetry.

I hope so, too! I know offhand that there were (or are) a few who read it, and at least one vice presidential candidate (Tim Kaine) who studied with the great Larry Levis as an undergrad, but I loved learning this about John Quincy Adams. Thanks, Charlotte, for bringing it to the surface!

I agree, I do not know any off the top of my head but if I had to make a guess I wonder if Garfield did. For some reason I could see him doing that but I could be totally wrong lol.
