Poetry Returns to Presidential Inauguration

For the first time since Maya Angelou was commissioned by Bill Clinton to write and read a poem ("On the Pulse of Morning") at his inauguration, poetry will reappear at a presidential inauguration. Barack Obama has chosen Yale alumna and Professor Elizabeth Alexander to read a new poem at his inauguration next Tuesday.

Bringing literary back. I dig it.
