“Blanco’s contributions to the fields of poetry and the arts have already paved a path forward for future generations of writers. . . . Our Nation was built on the freedom of expression, and poetry has long played an important role in telling the story of our Union and illuminating the experiences that unite all people.” —President Barack Obama
