  "textContent": "\\This post originally appeared on [Cohost.\\]\n\nThis will take a bit of explanation: Jorie Graham is a well-known American poet (well, at least among people who read poetry) who has a refined and sophisticated image (\"... raised in Rome, Italy and educated in French schools ... studied philosophy at the Sorbonne ...\"). So I was surprised today to find that she's on Twitter and tweets _a lot_, primarily about political stuff.\n\n(Her Twitter profile doesn't even mention that she's a poet; in fact it has no biographical information about her at all. But if you look at her past tweets and who she follows, you'll know that she's \"our\" Jorie Graham.)\n\nI found it quite amusing to think of \"one of the most celebrated poets of the American post-war generation\" retired (she's 72) and sitting at home sipping a glass of wine, obsessively watching MSNBC and tweeting about the mid-terms and how to get the most impact out of your political donations.\n\nPS to any Anifam discord folks reading this: I'll be featuring Graham in a future Sunday night poetry post.",
