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.
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 Ginsberg. He's just as I thought he would be.

Stumbled upon this Don Welch fella. Got into his poems, kept reading them throughout the whole podcast. Neat one. Quiet one. What are Poems.
It's Ovid on a LATE NIGHT EPISODE of WHAT ARE POEMS. Hey! How about Ovid? He's not raised by horse people (I just haven't gone to bed yet) but he is writing erotic poems in Ancient Rome. Here we go.
She's born when the only thing going on is shoeing horses. She founds Boston (James Brown saves it) She's writing poetry (All the men are shaking their heads) It's Anne Bradstreet. (The Queen of Clam Chowder)
You want to feel like you haven't done anything yet today? Get a load of the life and times of Pauli Murray (lawyer, priest, activist, author and poet)
Stunned by Etheridge Knight. New Favorite Poet. He was doing it. Cursing, Swearing, Inspiring, Sir?! Hatin Regan, bringing people up into the light. I continue to tease out what happened between me and Phil over soccer...
