Lmao if that's true (can't find it) that's pretty funny.
I liked the little tidbit about how she was wearing jewelry gifted to her by Oprah Winfrey -- would be pretty hard-pressed to think of a single more damaging individual to art in the past 30 years.
I'm 90% sure it was her, she wrote a medium post about it and Collins - an 80 year old man had to respond and he sent a letter in the post to a newspaper to do so because he didn't know what medium was. I read his response in the New Yorker.
I'll double check now but I thought I was pretty safe because how many black poets are called Gorman (and that was part of why he hadn't even realised that's why the name stuck in my head). If I'm wrong I'll edit my comment. This is why I should check before I comment and not just assume and end up looking like a dick.

Never heard of this -- what's the deal?
