Ep 27: Baker’s Poetry, ft. Alice Allan
NB: Ron Padgett is, of course, a member of the New York School, not the New School as I for some reason say early in my conversation with Alice.
Some of the topics mentioned in this episode:
– Alice Allan’s podcast Poetry Says, her book The Empty Room, and her chapbook Blanks
– The 2016 Jim Jarmusch poetry movie Paterson
– Method Man and/or Paul Laurence Dunbar
– The goodness of Adam Driver and William Jackson Harper
– Donald Hall’s poem “Without”
– Jane Kenyon’s poems “Happiness” and “Having It Out With Melancholy”
– Mary Oliver
– David Brooks (not that David Brooks)
– Commonplace with Rachel Zucker
– The Poetry Gods with Aziza Barnes, José Olivarez, and Jon Sands
– What it actually feels like to publish a first book of poems
– Alice’s podcasting wisdom
– Dorothy Porter’s poem “Lucky”
