Quincy Troupe, who had to resign as California’s first Poet Laureate and from his teaching job at the University of California, San Diego last fall after it was discovered he had lied on his resume, has settled into a new life. “I think I did the admirable thing by resigning, but that wasn’t enough for some people. They wanted me to bleed. You wouldn’t believe the hate mail that I received. The (racial slurs) I was called. I didn’t do anything that cost anyone a dime. It wasn’t fraud. I didn’t do what the people at Enron did. But some people wanted my head.”
