How the Hell Do You End a Poem?
Update: 2024-05-28
Description
This episode dives head first into the age old question: how the hell do you end a poem? Investigating the endings of three poems by poets we admire, we discuss the various strategies poets use to make a grand (or subtle, or repetitive, or mysterious) exit.
In this episode, we use this amazing list of 50 ways to end a poem, curated by the poet Emily Skaja, as a kind of map to guide us along the way.
The poems we discuss in this episode are:
"Romanticism 101" by Dean Young
"Person" and "Listening to Billie Holiday" by Blanca Varela
"Upon Practicing a Second Language" by Ae Hee Lee
