4:50 a.m. — Carmen arrives at the airport for her 6:15 a.m. flight.

THE BELIEVER: You’ve been in the poetry and publishing worlds for some thirty years now. What changes have you seen in that time?
KEVIN YOUNG: I think poetry itself has broadened and deepened. What I see, having edited The New Yorker anthology, is the way that poetry really, in the past forty years, has exploded in terms of who’s publishing and who’s able to publish and the outlets for publishing. At the same time, it once felt like there was a different kind of robust, smaller-press life, and you had these different outlets and magazines, some of which I miss. But in general, I think there are a lot of people writing who were always writing, but who are now getting published more.
You know me as the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court. Over the past three years, I’ve tried changing the system from within. I’ve written increasingly urgent court opinions. I’ve even deployed symbolism. For President Trump’s second inauguration, I wore a massive cowrie-shell collar honoring my African ancestry and the strength and ingenuity it requires to overcome America’s darkest days. Nothing gets through to you people.
In the last court term, I wrote ten dissenting opinions, more than any other justice. Have you previewed the horror show on the docket for this term? Alito just winked at me and asked if it’s too soon to joke that I don’t have the brain processing power to do this job.
