[Ads-l] Candidate for IOTY (Initialism of ...) -- PLOTUS

[Joel Berson]

"The poet laureate of the United States -- PLOTUS, in the lingo -- tends to be busy, Howard Nemerov once said, because he or she spends so much time explaining what the job entails."
"A Working-Class Voice Meant to be Spoken", Dwight Garner, "Critic's Nooteook," NYTimes, June 10, 2015, C1.  Article prompted by the nomination of Juan Felipe Herrera as the next PLOTUS.  

Not to be confused with Plautus.
