Anne Boyer has resigned as the poetry editor of the New York Times magazine: “Because our status quo is self-expression, sometimes all artists have left is to refuse. So I refuse.”
Boyer probably knew what was headed her way. The NYT forced staff reporter Jazmine Hughes to resign because Hughes signed an open letter that was circulating among journalists, which denounced Israel’s genocide in Gaza. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...
Jazmine Hughes was forced out by <em>Times Magazine</em> editor Jake Silverstein, the architect of the discredited 1619 Project.
Integrity.

Leave it to a poet to so succinctly drop the damn mic.
A powerful reminder of what poetry can & should do.
What a beautifully sad and powerful text. I applaud her.
Wow, that’s a letter.
That last line!
