Dorothy Wordsworth

Djuna Barnes out here living

It all goes around and around

What's this? No scandal? A good man, writing good things who ends up in Greece (not exiled, just alone, but not alone at all) It's Robert Lax on What are Poems! 

He is on the pulse of Late-60's New York City.  A friend of all artist -- Frank O'Hara.  I discuss a harrowing tale of hammers I heard second hand. 

Two men choke on grapes in this episode. 

NPR contributor, poet, and philosopher Baxter Black's poems are read.  I regret making fun of Ronald Reagan in a twist of fate I never saw coming. 

It's everyone in England's biggest crush: Rupert Brooke.  

Abraham Lincoln may or may not have written a poem about suicide in 1838.  A reading, an investigation, thoughts of Lizzie McGuire.  

The sister of William Wordsworth gets some thoughts.  My buddy Phil reads a poem at around 4 AM in my home.  My buddy Noah says "May I?" A little taste of friendship and the friends we keep on WHAT ARE POEMS. 

Number 50! and it's Gerda Mayer (refugee, poet) OPERATION KINDERTRANSPORT.  What happened in Jim Thorpe?
