Obama ‘dabbled’ in poetry
Filed Under Poegles, poetry contest | Leave a Comment
Via Poetry Hut: In this month’s Atlantic we’re treated to musing on the poetry of Abraham Lincoln. The Atlantic links out to a NY Times piece from May 2008 that reprinted two Obama poems that the President-elect published in an Occidental College literary journal in his early adult years, “Pop” and “Undeground”. Incidentally, I like the phrase “musty, wet pelts” in “Underground”.
