Once upon a time Marjory Wentworth, the Poet Laureate of South Carolina
wrote a poem to mark the second inauguration of Gov. Niki Haley of
South Carolina. That poem, the title poem in her latest collection, was
never read at the inaugural ceremony. In fact Wentworth was not even
invited to the event.

Now why is that? Well, apparently there was too much truth in that poem for Niki Haley to bear. Listen to this interview to hear all those gory details as well as a recent poem that she wrote to honor and celebrate the beleaguered city of Springfield, Ohio, a place this poet now calls home.
