Ep 22: The Truth Is Probably Not Out There
NB: (1.) I meant to say “Aristotle,” not “aerosol.” (2.) Yeah, I know, it’s not Mattie Lee’s family but her friends who pass judgment on/express concern for her.
Some of the topics mentioned in this episode:
– Derek DelGaudio’s taped magic show In & Of Itself
– Piero della Francesca’s fresco cycle The Legend of the True Cross
– Coleman Glenn’s good poem “Antipodes”
– Alice Allan’s good poetry podcast Poetry Says
– Robert Frost’s poems “Putting in the Seed,” “The Silken Tent,” and “Home Burial”
– Tom Stoppard’s play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
– Danielle Rose’s utterly anodyne and bizarrely controversial tweet and Barren Magazine’s stupid and histrionic response
– George Orwell’s essay “Poetry and the Microphone”
– Emily Dickinson’s poem “Because I could not stop for Death”
– Rebecca Hazelton’s essay in which she argues for the importance of mastering scansion by demonstrating that she has not mastered it
– Robert Hayden’s poem “Unidentified Flying Object”
