"Hayden lived at 1201 Gardner Avenue, not far from campus; however, his severe nearsightedness made it impossible for him to drive, or even walk the rutted sidewalks to work. As a result, Hayden regularly took the Ann Arbor Transportation Authority's #5 bus that ran along Packard Street."
Perhaps best known for his poem "Those Winter Sundays"

Robert Hayden's Bus Route in Ann Arbor, MI
Though his work is most associated with the Detroit ghettos of his youth, Robert Hayden spent his formative writing years in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and returned to the college town years later to live out the rest of his life. He first came to Ann Arbor in 1938 to attend the University of Michigan's graduate program in English. While there, he worked with W. H. Auden, who deeply influenced Hayden's work. His poems transformed from his self-described derivative early work to the compression and discipline that marked his later work.
