Why not Sinclair for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 82-year-old poet, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Sinclair so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the poet have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Flint Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Flint (John Sinclair's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the poet was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“#SinclairPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Congrats! John has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 26 Apr 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not John Sinclair?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 26 Apr 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of John Sinclair?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
