Good news

Richard Blanco

American Cuban Gay Poet

How's that for a minority

An Obamaphile

Chosen to read his "occasional piece" at the ceremony

Why good news

Partly that we are still having poets

Another that we have poets openly gay

Beyond that is the Cuban part

Tearing down the walls

Another thing

Blanco was/is an engineer

Time for us having a comeback

What better way than as poetry.

More about this here.

Richard Blanco 2013 Inaugural Poet
