You're taking my comment a little too seriously. I was making a joke. The point being that I think her "poetry" sucks.
Gee, I hope the p.c. though police don't come after me. Can I say that Angelou's poetry sucks, or is that a hate-crime? Is it hate-speech? Who knows? After all, she is black (can I say "black", or is that hate-speech too?), and I am white. No wait, I'm sure I must be a lousy, evil, no good, racist, white, blue-eyed devil cracker (I KNOW I can say that :-)
No, I understood it was a joke; I just thought I’d take the opportunity to make the point: a lot of liberals seem to think that spending a lot of energy on a topic of expertise makes one an expert.
For another (reverse) instance, Noam Chomsky was a very accomplished and important researcher in the field of linguistics*, but when it comes to political science, he’s just another hack.
(* a field of questionable validity, but he still was brilliant within it.)
