Some of you will know Elizabeth Bishop’s great poem “Visits to St. Elizabeths” https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/53008/visits-to-st-elizabeths about visiting Ezra Pound where was hospitalized after he faked insanity to dodge charges of treason. Well, Kristi Noem (aka ICE Barbie) is tearing St. E down (bec she thinks it leaves DHS vulnerable to snipers)—& in the process exposing DHS employees to asbestos poisoning. (I wrote abt Bishop’s poem in my book The Unbeliever: The Poetry of Eliz Bishop.) https://newrepublic.com/post/206698/kristi-noem-homeland-security-employees-asbestos-poisoning #Poetry #ICE
