Apart from school libraries, the city’s public libraries have also purged titles since the national security law took effect in June 2020, with the first removal occurring just days after its enactment.

It seeks to be a leader in shaping a receptive climate for poetry by developing new audiences, creating new avenues for delivery, and encouraging new kinds of poetry through innovative literary prizes and programs. When asked what drew her interest in Poetry Out Loud, Ronn said: “Performing a piece of writing can kind of connect you to it, to the text and to the poet themselves. The second-place winner is Aidyn Lorin Jai Reid, a senior at Fountain Valley School of Colorado in Colorado Springs, Colorado, who will receive a $10,000 prize.

"To follow in my father's footsteps and become the next South Asian, and Sikh-Punjabi, to be promoted as an EFL referee is a proud moment. They've made good progress and they're still on the upward trajectory. "They [Bhups and Sunny] are athletic, they know how to manage people, all these skills that you need to be successful. Jarnail retired from league officiating in 2011 and now advises the Football Association but still occasionally referees in the Combined Counties League. These guys have done more than survive, they've excelled and I think will continue to do so. I've had my eye on them for quite some time," said Webb.

One couple wrapped their arms around each other and swayed, immersed in the music, to 'I Need My Girl.’ The band’s usual guitar, bass, piano and drums were joined at times by trumpet and trombone, tambourine and other small percussion instruments, giving more texture to each song. Insistent, persistent drums, guitar and bass crashed deliciously over the crowd before Matt Berninger’s heady vocals soared above them as The National took to the stage at Live at the Marquee.
