I had no idea that New Jersey - the garden state - had a poet laureate, but it turns out that Amiri Baraka - the poet formerly known as LeRoi Jones, so it's not just Prince then - has got into hot water. Allegedly.

My problem is not so much that he may or may not be an antisemite, but that his poetry is truly terrible and doesn't even rhyme.
