Best Staff Writers: And now Hanif!!!

I love the magazine, and I’m only now catching up on the podcast, so I had NO idea that Hanif
Abdurraqib had become a staff writer. I’m a huge fan of his poetry, teaching and now his New Yorker podcast episodes. I once took a poetry workshop of his (infused with music), I couldn’t believe how mesmerizing he is. He does the same with every interview here.

He was brave to come on the show when the many democrats are so hostile to him. He does speak so clearly and stays civil. He makes some very good points. Let him speak.
