The document discusses the issue of inviting someone to join a company without asking them to be part of "Poetry in America". It also mentions that Serena considers herself a poetry person and how it might be relevant for her to appear on a Harvard poetry professor's show. The author would appreciate an edit for their invitation. In addition, the document references a poem about childbirth by Serena Williams, which raises awareness of discrimination against women athletes in sports and against women of color in childbirth. It is mentioned that Serena has appeared on PBS along with Bill Clinton and Shaquille O'Neal to read poetry for children. The author suggests starting with an invitation to join Clinton and mentions the need to hunt for a copy of Lolita or reread it on their way to Australia.
