One response to “Episode 360: Poetry Jazz BBQ!”

  1. You da’ man
    You da’ fuckin’ man

    Dr King, lose no confidence
    Do not lose confidence
    If you were not,
    Then Kerouac wouldn’t be
    At least to me.

    And though this be oddly formatted prose
    And no poetry attempted
    (Perhaps first couplet exempted)
    And all I despise in line feeds

    And wine notwithstanding
    My own understanding
    Is not of poems but messages
    Which I get every week
    On my phone

    Right. You’ll have done AWP by the time I post this, but here’s the thing. I would neither read nor know poetry if I couldn’t rely on this podcast every week.

    Yeah, I’m living the adjective in the podcast title right now, but it is, as we say post scriptum, I wasn’t drunk when I started typing, but I hope to see /circe again, and if she will drive, you.

    Would you believe how much editing this required?
