By Ta-Nehisi Coates

As for the poet who had the impossible job of immediately following the new President, I'll leave it to you to judge.
I haven't said anything because it's going to be our poem on Friday, and I want to discuss it there. I will say this--I liked the piece quite a bit. And I have no idea why they put her after Obama. Seriously, only Lowery can follow with that sort of weight.
