Minicast D1: The Poet Laureate of Kiribati
Manage episode 283997954 series 2831685
In 1996 a loutish young Briton got drunk and, on a lark, asked a tiny island nation if he could be their poet laureate. Mind you, the nation has no poet laureate and doesn't really do European-style poetry at all. That's ok, he doesn't know how to write poetry anyway.
So the government of Kiribati said yes, and then, his bluff called, the young man said yes, and then hilarity ensued.
Inspired by America's recent fascination with former National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman, who is also the only poet I know by name right now.
