Calvin Trillin
Calvin Trillin, who became The Nation's "deadline poet" in 1990, has also written verse on the events of the day for The New Yorker, The New York Times, and National Public Radio. He says he believes in an inclusive political system that prohibits from public office only those whose names have awkward meter or are difficult to rhyme. He is the author of Obliviously on He Sails and A Heckuva Job.
