Thanks for linking to my blog! I really appreciate it. Just to clarify, though, the term "poetry jam" is what the White House social secretary is calling it - in order to de-emphasize the competitive connotation of the word "slam." Sounds a little odd, I know. Either way, I hope it's a good show.
Ayelet Waldman's Fresh Air interview is truly barftastic. I am mildly obsessed with how tone deaf and overshare-prone that lady's public personae has become.
The more I read about Ayelet Waldeman, the more I want to punch her in the face.
