I’ve returned with my rich buddy Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
W.S. Merwin he's marrying women, he's writing poetry, he may have written a dark version of the Lorax. --- Support this podcast: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jacob-davies2/support
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.
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"
No relation. Favorite podcast. 50 great episodes so far! : - )
I love this podcast. It makes me laugh and I learn a lot about poetry.
I've been enjoying this for a couple of weeks now.
Choosing to ride the backs of actual poets, offering inaccurate information, this podcast purports to be anti-academic musings on poetry. What the listener gets is the same pretension, but wrapped in elementary commentary. Attaching himself to popular writers throughout history, Davies true aim is to promote his own writing, which is embarrassingly poor. But that is social media and this medium, now isn’t it.
