A member of the inaugural Interlochen Arts Academy class, Hadas went on to earn her bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate degrees from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. A gifted author and poet, White Hadas published four collections of poetry—Passion of Lilith, Designing Women, In Light of Genesis, and Beside Herself—and received numerous poetry accolades, including 1968 American Academy of Poets Award, the Oscar Blumenthal Award from Poetry magazine, and the inaugural Witter Bynner Poetry Prize from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. White Hadas also published plays, a libretto, and a book of criticism, Marianne Moore: Poet of Affection. In addition to her creative work, White Hadas was a skilled educator who mentored many young writers.
