Final answer:

John Milton, the English poet known for 'Paradise Lost,' was not a Harvard-educated Puritan minister like the other options in the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

The poet who was not a Harvard-educated Puritan minister is John Milton. Anne Bradstreet, Edward Taylor, and Michael Wigglesworth were all associated with the Puritan movement and had connections to Harvard. In contrast, John Milton was an English poet and civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under its Council of State and later under Oliver Cromwell. He is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost and for his strong republican sympathies.
