More on Inaugural poetry.

Check out Elizabeth Alexander's inaugural poem, "Praise Song for the Day" in both text and video, and watch her pre-inauguration interview on PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.

Also, from NPR.com: "We have commissioned some of the nation's most renowned poets to write their own inaugural poems. The real inaugural poems have usually been serious and sweeping affairs. But not so for [this] exercise. From lyrics to limericks, raps to rhymes, [these] poets express what the inauguration means to them—in verse."
