Well done, MacArthur foundation!
Among the winners of MacArthur grants this year is Reginald Dwayne Betts, the poet and lawyer I first met nearly ten years ago. I've written about him on the Razor several times: in 2015, in 2016 (when I got him to speak at St. Thomas), in 2017, and in 2019 (when he gave me a poem to use in my casebook). I won't repeat all those stories here, but there are projects yet to come.
It's a very well-deserved honor; I found the other recipients fascinating, too. Over the years this has gone to truly remarkable people and I am glad to see they are widening their lens to include some that would have escaped notice in the past.
