The Poetry of Jayson Blair

I kid you not. You can read some examples of Blair's undergraduate poetic efforts here. What's interesting about these gawdawful poems is that he even plagiarised himself a bit--the same line shows up in more than one poem. Warning: do not read these if you have a sensitive stomach, especially his romantic idyll entitled "In Her Bed, Dreaming of You." (Link via Maud Newton; see sidebar.)
