Dorothy Wordsworth

Djuna Barnes out here living

It all goes around and around

I’ve returned with my rich buddy Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

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. 

Marianne Moore was out there.  Another poet who's father has a psychotic break.  Another poet who was writing, and breathing and living and dying in times before our times. Also: She sums up what I've been trying to say in her poem "Poetry" 

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.  

It's a vivid, quick, important life on What Are Poems today. It's reaching back for inspiration and that inspiration reverberating for generations. Hey! Have you ever had a Rolling Rock Beer?
