Episode 406: Mystery Poem Found in a Library Book

Today's anonymous poem was found in my library book about Medieval Art and was dated Feb 7, 1958! How exciting is that?!? I also answer some listener questions & ask you some of my own in everyone's favorite segment - Question Corner. I wish you well, I hope you can gain acceptance of disappointment, and we shall find peace.With love, Robby LINKS:My InstagramMy Youtube 

Episode 405: Fuyue Anzai, Walt Whitman & Allen Ginsberg

Today, I explain how I use my fists to understand the days in a month. I regret (again) not learning Greek or its myths. We read Fuyue Anzai, Walt Whitman and Allen Ginsberg. We celebrate taking walks, aggressively. And something about Doritos. LINKS:Buy The Penguin Book of the Prose Poem HERE.Buy Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass HERE.Watch the Walt Whitman scene in Now, Voyager HERE.

Episode 404: A Michael Silverblatt Tribute & a David Markson Reading

"I am one who does not think that the Earth was made for us. I think that we are first to last strangers on it, and that it takes us a good first half of our lives just to get used to gravity. That it's not easy." -Michael Silverblatt LINKS:Visit the Bookworm ARCHIVES.Buy David Markson books on INDIEBOUND.Watch Michael Silverblatt at Cornell HERE. Listen to David Markson on Bookworm. 

Episode 403: Anne Boyer & Floor Piles

"I think mostly about clothes, sex, food, and seasonal variations. I have done so much to be ordinary and made a record of this: first I was born, next I was a child, then I learned things and did things and loved and had those who loved me and often felt alone. My body was sometimes well, then sometimes unwell. I got nearer to death, as did you." -Anne Boyer, Garments Against Women"I think mostly about my health, food, the past, and sweatpants. Although I complain often and suffer from depression, my general demeanor is actually quite positive. I wish I liked hot tea and stillness more than I do." -Me LINKS:Buy Anne Boyer's Garments Against Women Me on InstagramMe on Substack
