Wait for a more flattering expression. Also, color aren't very vibrant. She also seems soft. And the your background edits are showing.

snapshot... the colors could be stronger, the image quality could be better, the papers should not be in the photo imo, and it would have been better if the poet was looking towards the audience... (just my opinion)

A bit grainy. Sorry, just not finding this photo very interesting to look at.

Soft focus vs camera shaking affected it a bit, isn't it?

a tad slow shutter speed i suspect

There are two ways of looking at this. As a photojournalistic shot you've captured a famous person (per the title) at what I would imagine is a public event. As a portrait shot it's not very flattering. There are also some focus issues.

There is a movement in this image and really a snapshot, wish you had taken the photo when she took a breather and looked up!

check your monitor brightness settings - I can see all your (incomplete) edit work on the background

Hope the poet was more interesting than the picture.

I think that I would have included more of the paper, or taken it out, but not had it half-in half-out

slightly out of focus and looks like a snapshot.

If you took other shots of her looking somewhere in the direction of the camera they might have been stronger images. This shot appears to have focus on her necklace, but focusing on her eyes might have been a better choice.
