Dear Editor:

In response to Chris Weibe’s ridiculous inference that the use of the slogan “Poetry Matters” is implicitly marginalizing the “Black Lives Matter” movement, I must ask him how much free time he has on hand to even think up something so incredibly stupid.

How on earth could he even make a connection between the two? Stop trying to create a firestorm where none exists and get a grip on reality, sir. 

This is by far the most idiotic letter to the editor I have ever read. Leave Poetry Matters alone!
