Wonder if she'll give voice to the legal residents and tax payers of this city that have been forgotten .

Robin Coste Lewis, winner of the National Book Award, is the new poet laureate of the city of Los Angeles, Mayor Eric Garcetti announced Thursday.

“Robin is a fearless writer whose lyricism reclaims history for people who feel forgotten, and gives voice to those who feel silenced,” Garcetti said. “Los Angeles is fortunate to be represented by such a powerful artist. She will push boundaries and challenge us to rethink our perspectives.”

Write her a letter c/o of the City and ask. CC the appropriate news media outlet of your choice (John & Ken?). It may very well prompt a discussion.
