the faculty.

That would be difficult to confirm, but Zu-Bolton was known to have

visited many high schools, and he was in the area at that time.

I think it safe to assume for now that Zu-Bolton was not the

"poet-in-residence" at Carver, but that he probably did visit Will's
class.

For now, we can leave it there:

Ahmos Zu-Bolton did come to Carver High in Columbus, Georgia in Spring
