[See also: “Elizabeth Alexander, Poet of Iron.”]
By Nicholas Stix
So, that was Amanda Gorman again? If she’s a poet, the term has no meaning. And her reading was atrocious. She read a series of declarative statements, but refused to pause between sentences, thereby turning the whole thing into one endless run-on sentence.
And of course, in the spirit of the evening, which was devoted to the White Genocide Project, none of her “heroes” was a White man.
I’m wondering if Gorman deliberately read her “thing” so badly, so as to be “authentically black,” the way black singers have deliberately mangled the National Anthem, going back at least to Whitney Houston.
I only heard Gorman because CBS misled the public about kickoff time, announcing that it would be at 6:30 p.m. I tuned in at 6:31, to find she’d just begun. If the network had been honest, millions of football fans would have skipped Gorman.
Now, every communist “president” has to have an affirmative action black female fake poet read a fake or awful poem at his inauguration (Maya Angelou, Elizabeth Alexander, Gorman). I suppose it was fitting that a fake poet would read a fake poem at the fake inauguration of fake president Joe Biden. And seeing that, thanks to mail-in election fraud, we now live in a one-party totalitarian dictatorship, we will be afflicted with fake presidents and black fake poets for eternity.
Gorman: “Today we honor our three captains for their actions and impact in a time of uncertainty and need they’ve taken the lead exceeding all expectations and limitations uplifting their communities and neighbors as leaders, healers, and educators James has felt the wounds of warfare but this warrior still shares his home with at-risk kids during Covid, he’s even lent a hand live-streaming football for family and fans Trimaine is an educator who worlds nonstop providing his community with hotspots Laptops, and tech workshops so his students have all the tools they need to succeed in life and in school Suzie is the ICU nurse manager at a Tampa Hospital her chronicles prove that even in tragedy, hope is possible she lost her grandmothers to the pandemic and fights to save other lives in the ICU battle zone defining the frontline heroes risking their lives for our own let us walk with these warriors charge on with these champions and carry forth the call of our captains we celebrate them by acting with courage and compassion by doing what is right and just for while we honor them today it is they who every day honor us.”

It is not so much the poetry but that the poetry is so bad.
I'm black,you're White,
You're out of luck.
It doth not matter,
that my poetry sucks.
Thank you,
Gorman
