Richard Cohen has the right idea about the poet laureate of New Jersey. My only petty little disagreement is with the headline: Anti-Semitism, Not Poetry. The term “poetry” identifies a genre of literature, not the content. There’s no reason why poetry can’t be bigoted. There are plenty of reasons why it shouldn’t be.
The Rhetorica Network
I offer commentary on the rhetoric of the American conversation, especially as it unfolds in documentary film, the news media, and politics. Check out my feeds on Twitter and Instagram. Also be sure to see my work at Carbon Trace Productions, a non-profit documentary film studio in Springfield, Missouri. I am a Professor of Media & Journalism at Missouri State University. I teach classes in mobile journalism and documentary filmmaking.
