You knew what you were getting into
Sorry, I just can't get with the New Jersey state government on this one. Baraka, fka LeRoi Jones, has a history -- he's been a prominent poet since the late 1950s, when he was a beat of sorts before he took the radical route.
If they didn't want such a "controversial" figure as your state poet laureate, they shouldn't have picked him. The history is there; they should have done their research.
