💨 Abstract

To summarize, in the first half of 2025, U.S. poet laureates Ada Limon, Joy Harjo, and Tracy K. Smith condemned President Trump's abrupt firing of Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden. They praised her for promoting literature and serving with grace. The White House cited concerns over DEI initiatives and children's books as reasons for her dismissal. Hayden was the first woman and African American to hold the position.
